What is Silica Gel and how does it work?

Silica Gel is a glass-like, porous structure of silicon dioxide (SiO2). It adsorbs up to 30% of its own weight. And you read it correctly, that’s adsorb and not absorb. Silica Gel adsorbs moisture with the water molecules adhering to the surface of the Silica Gel granule. Silica Gel is covered in millions of pores that retain this moisture. Pore opening size ranges a magnitude up and down from a billionth of a metre (nanometre). The pores create a huge surface area, which will bind water through surface adsorption and capillary action.
Silica Gel comes packaged in Tyvek bags which are made from high density polyethylene fibres, making them extremely tear-resistant. In addition, Tyvek is lightweight, flexible, smooth, low-linting, and is resistant to water, chemical abrasion, and ageing. The Pro-Ex Silica Gel range is food grade.

Suitability

Under optimal conditions Silica Gel will adsorb up to 30% of its own weight.
The adsorption ability falls at temperatures above 30-40°C. Although some moisture can be adsorbed at temperatures up to 80°C, the risk of re-evaporation of already adsorbed moisture make Silica Gel unsuitable for use in an environment where temperatures of above 40°C may occur even temporarily.

Advantages of Silica Gel

if stored correctly can have an almost indefinite shelf life non-toxic and non-flammable
adsorbs up to 30% of its weight in moisture
odourless
non-corrosive
can be reactivated and reused if required

NOTE: Silica Gel desiccants are NOT suitable as a shipping desiccant but can be used in packages where the risk of high temperatures is small.

Silica Gel Applications

Prevent mould – leather goods, photo albums, certificates, photo frames
Reduce spoilage and prolong shelf life – dried fruit, herbs, nuts and medication bottles
Prevent corrosion – electronics, camera equipment, tools
