Film Desiccant Beads

Keep your slides and negatives protected long after scanning. Film Desiccant Beads absorb excess moisture inside storage boxes, drawers, and cabinets, helping maintain a drier, more stable environment around your film.

Moisture matters more than most people realize. Warm, humid conditions can accelerate fading, staining, mold growth, and the chemical breakdown of photographic film. Preservation authorities recommend storing photographs, slides, and negatives in a cool, relatively dry, stable environment. Silica gel is commonly used inside enclosed storage spaces to help control relative humidity.
