The silica gel is contained in Tyvek which is a material that is made out of polyethylene fibres. 

The material is very strong; it is difficult to tear but can easily be cut with scissors or a knife. 

Water vapor can pass through Tyvek, but liquid water cannot.

PLEASE NOTE . These are silica gel and not desiccant clay. Silica gel is a desiccant – it adsorbs and holds water vapour

Little packets of silica gel are found in all sorts of products because silica gel is a desiccant

In leather products, the lack of moisture can limit the growth of mould and reduce spoilage

In electronics, scientific and optical instruments, communication equipment, metallic parts, leather goods, tools and many other small to medium sized items, it prevents condensation, which might damage the electronics

Each sachet will adsorb up to one third of its own weight in water vapour
