Silica Gel
Silica gel is an amorphous and porous form of silicon dioxide (silica), a naturally occurring mineral. Despite its name, it's a solid, granular substance, typically appearing as clear or translucent beads or crystals. Its unique structure, characterized by an irregular three-dimensional framework of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms, creates countless nanometer-scale voids and pores. This vast internal surface area (often 500-950 m²/g) is what gives silica gel its remarkable ability to adsorb (collect molecules on its surface) water vapor.
Types of Silica Gel
Moisture Control – 1kg Pack
Our Silica Gel Moisture Control – 1kg Bulk Pack provides a highly effective and economical solution for managing humidity in larger spaces or for extensive preservation needs. This generous quantity of premium silica gel is designed to safeguard a wide array of goods from moisture damage, preventing issues like mold, mildew, corrosion, condensation, and spoilage.
Silica gel is an inert, non-toxic, and highly porous desiccant material. Its unique structure allows it to adsorb a significant amount of water vapor directly from the surrounding air, effectively lowering humidity levels to create a dry, protective environment.
Specifications
Key Features
- Powerful Moisture Adsorption - Each kilogram of silica gel offers immense surface area to trap airborne moisture, making it ideal for maintaining dry conditions in enclosed spaces.
- Large 1kg Quantity - Perfect for larger applications such as industrial storage, shipping containers, gun safes, large toolboxes, caravans, boats, or for replenishing smaller desiccant packets over time.
- Versatile Protection - Protects electronics, cameras, documents, precious metals, firearms, leather goods, textiles, pharmaceuticals, dry foods, and collectibles from humidity-related degradation.
- Chemically Inert & Safe - Non-reactive with most materials, non-corrosive, and non-flammable, ensuring safe use around sensitive items.
Silica gel is a solid, granular form of silicon dioxide known for its high porosity and large surface area, enabling it to effectively adsorb moisture. Commonly used as a desiccant, it helps protect products from humidity damage during storage and transport.
