D'Addario Humidipak Absorb System - Patented Two-Way Technology for Wet Guitar Protection
This automatic climate control system uses safe, non-leaking gel packets inside protective fabric sleeves to effortlessly remove excess moisture from your case and safeguard your instrument against warping.
Key Features of Humiditypak Absorb System:
Step 1A (Absorb): Use the Humidipak Absorb first if your instrument case reads consistently over 60% RH to pull the moisture down safely.
Patented Membrane Barrier (The Wrapper): Covered under Boveda's primary patent (US Patent 5,936,178), this specialized vapor-permeable material is legally unique because it blocks liquid water and salts from leaking out while acting as a precise gatekeeper for water vapor [US5936178A].
Patented Viscosity Control (The Gel Formula): Covered under Boveda's chemical formulation patents (such as US Patent 6,921,026), this proprietary blend keeps the natural salt-water solution suspended in a thickened, non-sloshing gel matrix that maintains a perfectly consistent moisture exchange rate.
- Equilibrium control: When the case humidity is high (e.g., above 60% RH), the chemical solution draws water vapor inward. Once the air in the sealed case drops to the optimal 45–50% range, the chemical solution reaches osmotic equilibrium with the surrounding air.
- Leak-Proof Lining: The inner polymeric film completely blocks liquid, salt, and gel from escaping.
Step 2 (Maintain): Once the heavy absorption process brings the environment down to the ideal 45–50% level, you pull the Absorb packs out and switch to standard Humidipak Maintain packs for day-to-day, long-term stabilization.
