Contact SupplierSilica gel is used as moisture absorbing agent de-humidifiers, catalyzer carrier and dehydration of organic compounds as it has high density and high moisture adsorbing capacity under low humidity. Silica gel used as desiccant [drying agent] moisture absorbing in air & gas drying and purification plants, dehumidifiers, and dehydrations, catalyst in various process industries such as automobile industry, petrochemicals, fertilizer plants, food industries and also in oxygen plants to remove hydrocarbons.
The internal structure of silica gel is composed of a vast network of interconnected microscopic pores which attract and hold water, alcohols, hydrocarbons and other chemicals by the phenomena known as physical adsorption and capillary condensation.
appears and feel dry, even when saturated with water silica gel is chemically inert, non-toxic, non-flammable and safe to use to protect foods, medicines, sensitive materials and much more.
silica gel dries, avoids dampness & resists rust, corrosion, oxidation, tarnish and damp proof on coin collections, silverware, jewels, electric and electronic gadgets, photography equipments, digital meters, foodstuffs, pharmacy products and more. In addition it protects seasonal storage collectibles valuable silk clothing’s, leathers, textiles and from mildew, fungus, mold, staining and cracking.
Silica gel is most commonly encountered in everyday life as beads packed in non-woven, tyvek, semi – permeable plastic. In this form, it is used as a desiccant to control local humidity in order to avoid spoilage of some goods. Silica gel is a desiccant or drying agent and should not be confused with silicon gel.
it has been widely used in ocean shipping containers with obvious effect to resist dampness in order to save goods because of high humidity.
