What is Silica Gel?
Silica Gel refers to the synthetic form of silicon dioxide that has been processed into granules or beads. It is typically used as a desiccant or a drying agent because of its capability to absorb moisture. Given that it is non-toxic and chemically inert, Silica Gel can be used in many industries. In addition, it effectively curtails moisture-related damage in products and packaging.
Common Applications
- Moisture Control: Used in packaging to prevent moisture damage in products like electronics, pharmaceuticals, and food items.
- Inhibitor of Moisture: Silica Gel can be used to dry chemicals, gases, and other materials that are used in industrial applications.
- Preservation of Goods: Assists in maintaining dryness and therefore prolongs the shelf life of perishable items such as footwear, leather goods, and even artwork.
- Food & Beverage Sector: Used to proportion moisture content within the food packaging to maintain product quality and freshness.
- Pharmaceuticals: Incorporated in the packaging of various medications to mitigate damage from moisture and prolong the shelf life of pills and tablets.
- Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used in personal care and beauty products to protect the integrity of the formulations by reducing the moisture content.
