These dessicants are used regularly when shipping equipment that can be expopsed to high humidity during transit, our company have packed large training equipment in metalized plastic material that is heat sealed together, vaccuum out the air within this big "bag" with a vaccuum cleaner and toss in a couple of 10 lb bags of this stuff before sealing off the bag We have never had any damages or adverse effect. BTW, you can re-use the dessicant by baking them out in an oven to get rid of the moisture absorbed.
