As the global leader in two-way humidity control, Boveda has pioneered a simple yet sophisticated solution for your moisture control needs.

2-way humidity control works by continually responding and adjusting to ambient temperature and humidity by either adding or removing moisture to regulate a pre-determined Rh (relative humidity). The control device must change behavior as shifting conditions require. For instance, 2-way moisture control responds to shifting ambient conditions to provide only the right amount of moisture.

We can engineer Boveda from 13% to 97% Rh, making it useful for a wide variety of applications. The primary results of using Boveda within the packaging of your intermediate-moisture goods are extended shelf life and quality control through all levels of distribution. Boveda is simple to incorporate into production lines and won’t require any changes in your current packaging. And with the ability to add an oxygen scavenger and food-grade mold inhibitor, it’s perfect for food packaging.

The best part is that Boveda is completely maintenance free and very low cost. Chances are good that we supply to another industry the Rh required for your product. If we don’t, we’ll make it.

Boveda technology works 2-ways. Other products work just 1-way.

There are numerous commercial products on the market that only provide 1-way control, meaning they’ll give off moisture (humidifier) or absorb moisture (desiccant). Neither of them have the ability to regulate. A humidifier (sponge, gel, beads, crystals, silica, wet paper towels) all add moisture to a container, even if it’s already too high. A desiccant removes all moisture. Those conditions are damaging unless you need very high humidity or none at all.

Boveda is based on the scientific principle that certain salts mixed with water will naturally regulate a specific Rh. What we patented was the method that made that science practical and usable for packaging applications. By using a food-grade thickener and an enclosure film that won’t damage anything through direct contact while only allowing pure water vapor to transfer in and out, we bring you Boveda.
