Silica Gel Blue 907gm (2lb)

Silica Gel Blue is a highly efficient desiccant widely used in industrial applications for moisture control and humidity regulation. Composed of amorphous silicon dioxide, it features blue beads or granules impregnated with cobalt chloride, which acts as a moisture indicator. The beads change color from blue to pink as they absorb moisture, providing a visual indication of their saturation level.

Key Features:

• Superior Moisture Absorption: Effectively absorbs and retains moisture to maintain dry conditions.
• Color Indicator: Changes from blue to pink as it becomes saturated, offering an easy way to monitor usage.
• Long-Lasting Performance: Capable of being regenerated through heating, extending its usability.
• Non-Corrosive & Stable: Safe for use in various industrial environments without causing damage to materials.

Applications:

1. Industrial Drying:
   • Used in drying and storing machinery, tools, and equipment to prevent rust and corrosion.
2. Packaging:
   • Protects electronics, pharmaceuticals, and sensitive products from moisture damage during transport and storage.
3. Air Drying:
   • Incorporated in compressed air systems to remove humidity and ensure smooth operation.
4. Chemical and Laboratory Use:
   • Maintains low-humidity conditions in desiccators and sealed containers for sensitive materials.

Characteristics:

• High adsorption capacity.
• Non-toxic, but cobalt chloride content requires safe handling as per guidelines.
• Easy to regenerate by heating at 120–150°C until the blue color returns.
