Product of New Zealand.

M.U.D. (Multi-Utility Dessicant) helps to protect your musical instruments from the harmful effects of humidity. M.U.D. is an exceptionally effective dehumidifier made from highly absorbent and unique European calcinated minerals. It lasts longer, and removes more moisture from the air than any other desiccant in the world.

It is a reusable, organic, moisture-absorbing compound that is capable of absorbing up to 75% of its own weight in water for 60-90 days, and can then be used over and over again. Thus protecting your musical instruments, and equipment from harmful humidity.

Simply place it into a microwave as directed in order to reactivate it.

In Stringed instruments, water in the air is readily absorbed by the wood, which increases the weight of the instrument, and creates a noticeable loss of tone. Expensive strings are also more likely to rust and break. Humidity also causes serious damage: wood can swell, warp, twist, and crack. Glue softens, and joints open. Dampness also encourages mildew, and pest infestations such as weevils, mites, bow-bugs, and woodworm.

Reactivation in a Microwave Oven: The M.U.D. vial is made from heat resistant Schott borosilicate glass (‘pyrex’- type) tubing and can be microwaved for a limited period of time with relative safety. Place the entire vial into the microwave and cook on medium heat for 30 seconds.

You will see moisture start to be released from the M.U.D. granules. Remove the vial from the oven and allow it to completely cool. Moisture will continue to be released as the cooling process occurs
