Silica Gel is non-toxic, odourless, and non-corrosive, it provides premium large volume desiccant dryers with lower energy costs.
Compared to other desiccants, it has very stable thermal and chemical characteristics.
Once the gel absorbs the moisture, it will remain unchanged physically.
For gel that is self-indicating, an additive is added to the basic gel so that it changes colour upon the adsorption of water.
A self-indicating silica gel allows for a visual indication of the level of activity that is taking place.
This choice of desiccant is typically white and referred to as non-indicating.
Formed from silicon dioxide, silica gel is amorphous and produced synthetically into granules that are hard.
In appearance, it looks like irregular crystal-like beads.
Since their micro-porous makeup has cavities that are interlocking, the gel has an extremely high area of the surface, it makes for a perfect desiccant of high capacity.
Advantages of Silica Gel
- Non-flammable
- Reused by regenerating–heating the gel will stave off absorptions
- Can absorb up to 40% of its own weight
- Shelf life is indefinite–if stored airtight
- It is inert and will not corrode or disrupt materials
- Can be conveniently packed and is available in many sizes for various applications.
Its most notable trait is its porousness, which allows it to absorb up to 40 percent of its weight in water.
Silica gel is most commonly encountered in everyday life as beads in a small (typically 2 x 3 cm) paper packet.
In this form, it is used as a desiccant to control local humidity to avoid spoilage or degradation of some good.
