White Silica Gel

About White Silica Gel

White silica gel is an extremely porous, non-indicating desiccant substance made up of amorphous silicon dioxide. It is generally made in the shape of hard, white beads or granules and is found to be extensively utilized for absorbing moisture and controlling humidity. While unlike indicating silica gels, white silica gel does not turn color when it adsorbs moisture. It works by absorbing water vapor into its small pores, thus making it a good desiccant. Because it is non-toxic, odorless, and chemically inert, it is widely applied in numerous applications such as packaging electronics, pharmaceuticals, foods, and other moisture-sensitive items. White silica gel is used to maintain the shelf life of products by keeping the environment dry and avoiding mold, corrosion, and deterioration.
