 Silica Gel Self Indicator Coarse Extra Pure is a high-quality granular silica gel desiccant with embedded moisture indicator properties. It appears as blue beads that turn pink upon moisture saturation, enabling easy visual detection of adsorbed water. Widely used in laboratories and industry, it protects sensitive equipment, gases, and packaged goods from humidity damage. Its coarse granular form ensures efficient air flow and rapid moisture adsorption, making it essential in moisture-sensitive environments such as compressed air systems, gas dryers, and protective packaging.

Description

Silica Gel Self Indicator Coarse Extra Pure

PRIMARY USES

Analytical Reagent & Laboratory Applications:

  • Used as a moisture indicator desiccant in laboratory air and gas drying systems. 
  • Serves as an adsorbent to protect sensitive equipment and chemicals from humidity. 
  • Monitors moisture levels visually by color change from blue to pink when saturated. 

Industrial Applications:

  • Applied in compressed air dryers and gas purification to maintain dryness. 
  • Used in packaging to prevent moisture damage to pharmaceuticals, electronics, and food. 
  • Protects optical instruments and precision tools by adsorbing moisture. 

SECONDARY USES

Corrosion Protection:

  • Functions in vapor phase corrosion inhibitors to protect stored metal parts and tools. 
  • Used in shipping and storage environments to prevent rust and corrosion through moisture absorption. 

Environmental Controls:

  • Employed in environmental chambers to regulate humidity levels. 
  • Utilized in transportation and storage of moisture-sensitive goods.
