SILICA GEL

Silica gel is a granular form of silica that is made synthetically from sodium silicate. It is non-hazardous and can absorb upwards of 40% of its weight in water vapor at 100% humidity. It is a solid substance that is extremely porous, making it capable of absorbing high levels of moisture, it has the highest moisture adsorption capacity of any commercial desiccant making it one of the most effective ingredients for products designed to prevent corrosion during transportation and storage.

In cases where moisture needs to be eliminated entirely, the use of powerful desiccants such as silica gel may not be enough. To that end, moisture barrier bags can provide the level of protection required. When used in conjunction with silica gel, the levels of moisture can be reduced to infinitesimal levels. The use of indicating silica gel can also be a great help, it 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.

From pharmaceutical to military grade, Protective Packaging is one of the largest distributors of desiccants in the United States.  Our experts will be happy to help you determine the silica gel products that best suit your needs.  Just give us a call at (972) 446 - 2247 or click here .
