Small packets of silica gel can found in all sorts of products because it adsorbs and holds
 water vapor. Reduce the moisture, it can limit the growth of mold and reduce spoilage

General Characteristics of Silica Gel                              

Silica Gel is a high capacity adsorbent and desiccant consisting of granular highly porous silica. It can
adsorb up to 40% of its own weight of water in its internal pores by physical adsorption, there is no
chemical change or alteration in the form or bulk volume of the desiccant.

 

Indicating silica gel (Orange) is basically identical to white gel but contains a small quantity of moisture
sensitive indicating material. It turns orange to dark green when saturated with moisture.
           

Protection With Silica Gel

THE PROBLEM

The presence of moisture in atmosphere air constitutes a major problem to all concerned with the
packaging of items for storage or despatch. If the relative humidity in the package rises above 50%,
corrosion becomes possible. A further increase in the humidity will permit mould growth on organic
base materials and, if condensation occurs, damage will extend to optical systems due to smearing
of the optical surfaces. 

Even a hermetically sealed container prepared under low humidity conditions is not safe since a drop
in temperature may raise the relative humidity to a dangerous level. 

Packages utilising a vapour barrier such as polythene film are even greater risk since barriers allow
moisture vapour transmission into the package.

THE SOLUTION
Silica gel will remove the moisture from the air inside a package and reduce the relative humidity to a safe
level at which corrosion mould growth and other forms of moisture damage cannot occur.

If the temperature of the pack falls, the silica gel will continue to adsorb moisture, maintaining safe conditions.

Even if moisture penetrates the pack from outside atmosphere, it is easy to provide sufficient silica gel to
cope with the incoming water vapour.

EASY TO USE
Just store your products in a airtight zip lock bag or container, then insert package of silica gel.

USAGE
One cubic feet space require about 15g to 20g of silica gel
