Silica Gel: A Non-Hazardous, Odorless and Chemically Stable Desiccant

No matter how well you package your products there is always a chance that moisture might creep in and harm your product. Therefore the use of silica gel as a desiccant is highly recommended. As a controlled atmospheric packager, Desiccare Inc. helps you safeguard not just your products, but also your industrial processes from the detrimental effects of moisture and other vapors. Desiccare, Inc. offers a full range of standard and custom desiccant products, and caters to both industries and consumers.

As a desiccating agent, there are several desirable attributes that silica gel demonstrates, such as:

It is non-hazardous, odorless and chemically stable.
• It effectively adsorbs moisture into its pores and leaves no byproducts or chemical reaction.
• It is capable of adsorbing 40% of its weight in water vapor at 100% humidity.
• If you were to compare it with other commercial desiccants, you would find that it has the highest adsorption capacity.

Based on your requirement, Desiccare Inc’s Application Engineers can provide you with just the right desiccant solution in an appropriate packet size. We offer bulk desiccants which includes silica gel, indicating silica gel, clay, molecular sieve, and activated carbon in packs ranging from 6 lbs to 2000 lbs.
