It may not be an industrial-grade desiccant, but the major advantage of rice is that people tend to have it at home...
Shit I just dropped my phone in the sink! Just give me a minute to hop online... Commercial grade desiccant... 7-10 days shipping... Buy now... Great! In a week I'll have the driest phone ever!
I have a mason jar full of the desiccant packets that come with the random crap I order. I hang on to them in case my phone decides to go swimming. I recommend it to people, but I don't think I've made many converts lol
Just remember that dessicant (including rice) should be dried out in the oven if you're going to expect it to drop humidity below normal ambient humidity. Obviously not baked, but a few hours at ~180F to ~220F will dry out most dessicants. Some are really hydrophillic, though, and might take even higher temps.
Usually the kinds that dry out at lower temps are labeled as reusable or similar terminology. (unless it's a disposable packet, then it's what ever the hell they decided to throw in there).
I didn't know that, thanks!
