Silica gel is a granular form of silica that is made synthetically from sodium silicate. It is a solid substance that is extremely porous, making it capable of absorbing high levels of moisture. To that end, silica gel is the primary component in many desiccants. Capable of reducing the relative humidity in a closed space by upwards of 40 percent, silica gel is an effective way of protecting products from corrosion during transportation or storage. At Protective Packaging Corporation we have over 25 years of experience in the protective packaging industry. We understand the dangers of moisture, which is why we manufacture some of the highest quality barrier bags and desiccants available. It doesn't matter whether you need to protect a delicate weapons system, or transport spare air conditioner parts--our expertise and products will ensure their integrity is protected. Indicating silica gel is a simple yet effective way to ensure that moisture levels remain at a minimum. Not only does indicating silica gel absorb surrounding moisture, it also changes colors as it does so. The more moisture the silica gel absorbs, the less effective it eventually becomes. Once it reaches its saturation point, indicating silica gel will turn to a specific color, signaling it should be replaced. Moisture should never be overlooked. It is the primary cause for corrosion and it can cause rapid deterioration of many products. At Protective Packaging Corporation we have the solutions to your transportation and storage needs. In fact, we approach every product that we package with the same focus and dedication--no matter how large or how small.
