The guitar is a treasure that needs to be taken care of very much. A little carelessness will get damp, causing irreversible damage such as neck deformation, excessive string spacing, rusty strings, and moldy body.


So how to take good care of our guitar?


Chunwang recommends that when the guitar is not in use, you should put the guitar in the case after loosening the strings. If there is no case, you can use a large plastic bag or plastic wrap to seal it all. The most important thing is to put it inside. Into the desiccant.


There are many kinds of desiccants, which can be roughly divided into two categories: physical desiccants and chemical desiccants. Chemical desiccant is a kind of desiccant that chemically reacts with moisture in the air and transforms it into another substance to remove moisture; physical desiccant is a desiccant that absorbs moisture in the air and locks it firmly inside. Obviously, physical desiccants are safer and more environmentally friendly than physical desiccants. We also recommend that piano friends choose physical desiccants to protect the guitar.


As an old company in the desiccant industry, Chunwang recommends that you choose the silica gel desiccant among the physical desiccants. Silica gel desiccant is a highly active adsorption material and is the most commonly used desiccant. It is an amorphous substance, and its chemical formula is mSiO2.nH2O. It meets the Chinese chemical standard HG/T2765-2005. It is the only FDA approved desiccant that can directly contact with food and drugs. The silica gel desiccant has strong moisture absorption capacity and strong adsorption performance. Even if the silica gel desiccant is completely immersed in water, it will not soften or liquefy. It is non-toxic, tasteless, non-corrosive and non-polluting, so it can be in direct contact with any object.
