Silica Gel
Silica Gel
is a granular, porous form of silica made synthetically from Sodium Silicate. It is used as a desiccant/moisture adsorbent to control local humidity in order to avoid spoilage or degradation of some goods.Silica gel packets
are very useful as a drying agent and it adsorbs about 40% of its weight in moisture. Silica packets are found in food, pharmaceutical, leather, textile and electronic products as it is the cheapest way to protect your products from damage caused of moisture.White Silica Gel - Non Indicating Type | |

White Silica Crystals has good absorption capacity; but it donot have any indicator. When free from moisture the particles are transparent white, but after use they turn little milky or hazy white.
Used as desiccants,moisture adsorbent,dehydrating agent and rust inhibitors.
Available in mesh sizes of 1-2 (9-12mm), 3-4 (6-8mm), 5-8 (4-6mm), 9-16 (2-4mm), 16-30 (1-2mm)... View Gallery |
Blue Silica Gel - Indicating Type | |

Blue Silica Crystals also known as self indicating type is prepared by impregnating White Silica crystals with Cobalt Chloride.
When free from moisture the particles are blue and after moisture absorption the particles will turn into pink color, which indicates the gel needs to be replaced or regenerated.
Available in mesh sizes of 1-2 (9-12mm), 3-4 (6-8mm), 5-8 (4-6mm), 9-16 (2-4mm), 16-30 (1-2mm)... View Gallery |
