Silica Gel
By BANDMA0 Reviews
Description
Silica gel has such exceptional moisture-absorbing capabilities, it is a highly porous, granular type of silicon dioxide (SiO2) that is widely used in many different sectors. Silica gel is a common ingredient in small packets seen in product packaging. It is essential for preventing moisture damage to items while they are being stored and transported.
Specification
- Chemical Composition - Primary Component : Silicon Dioxide (SiO2), Form : Granules, beads, or pre-packaged packets.
- Physical Properties - Appearance : Transparent to slightly opaque beads or granules, Particle Size : Typically 1-3 mm diameter for beads; granules vary by application, Surface Area : High surface area due to porous structure.
- Indicator Silica Gel - IndicatingAgents:Optionalcobaltchloride(blueto pink) or orange indicating beads, Safety : Indicating silica gel should be hand-led with care due to the presence of cobalt chloride, which is toxic
- Compliance - Standards : Complies with industry standards for food safety, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.
Features
- Superior Moisture Absorption : Capable of absorbing up to 40% of its weight in moisture. Effectively reduces humidity and prevents mold, mildew, and corrosion.
- Regenerable : Can be reused multiple times by heating to 150°C (302°F) to remove absorbed moisture. Cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
- Non-Toxic and Inert : Safe for use with food, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and more. Chemically stable and non-reactive with other substances.
- Versatile Forms : Available in granules, beads, and pre-packaged packets. Suitable for various appli- cations and easy to use.
