Silica Gel Powder

About Silica Gel Powder

Silica gel powder is a ground, amorphous silicon dioxide (SiO) powder, which is very porous and has a very large surface area due to its high porosity and large surface area. It is a free-flowing, white to off-white powder that is widely used in industries as a drying agent, for example, in the pharmaceutical industry, cosmetics industry, and food processing industry. Powder prevents the damage due to moisture, clumping, and spoilage by absorbing water vapor from the ambient environment. It is inert chemically, non-toxic, and stable over a wide range of pH values. Powder silica gel can be regenerated by heating and may be reused multiple times.
