Plastic bottles holding a range of adhesives sold by Toagosei Co. Ltd. in Japan are now being put into secondary packaging that includes MoistCatch, a moisture-absorbing component that eliminates the need for adding moisture-absorbing desiccant pouches.

Kyodo Printing says that with MoistCatch it has found a way to combine a moisture-absorbing component in the resin itself, which the company does not identify. Apparently, the film structure in the photo shown here is a lamination that includes PET/foil/MoistCatch/sealant layer—at least, that’s the structure described as “typical” in on-line literature from Kyodo Printing.
