Orange Silica Gel
Orange silica gel is a non-toxic desiccant that absorbs moisture and changes color from orange to green or colourless when saturated, indicating the need for regeneration. Its specifications include a high surface area (approx. 750 m²/g) for efficient moisture absorption and a high adsorption capacity (around 40% of its weight). The main benefits are its environmentally safe, non-toxic nature, efficient moisture control, and reusability after heating, making it a cost-effective and safe choice for protecting products in electronics, pharmaceuticals, and food.
Specifications
- Adsorption Capacity: Can absorb approximately 40% of its own weight in moisture at 80% relative humidity.
- Surface Area: Possesses a large surface area (around 750 m²/g), enabling high absorption of water vapour.
- Regeneration: Can be regenerated by heating at temperatures up to 130°C for about 4 hours, restoring its original colour and effectiveness.
- Particle Size: Available in various sizes, such as 2-5 mm beads.
Focus Air Desiccants
Features
- Indicating Colour Change: Transitions from orange to green or colourless as it absorbs moisture, providing visual feedback.
- Non-Toxic & Environmentally Friendly: Pollution-free desiccant, safer and environmentally sound compared to cobalt-containing blue silica gel.
- Dust-Free and Inert: Almost completely dust-free and chemically inert.
Benefits
- Moisture Control: Prevents moisture-related damage such as mold, mildew, and corrosion in packaged goods.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Reusable through regeneration, offering an economical option for maintaining dry conditions.
- Enhanced Product Safety: Protects the integrity and extends the shelf life of pharmaceuticals, electronics, and food products by controlling humidity.
- Safety for Various Applications: Non-toxic nature makes it suitable for human contact or exposure-sensitive applications, such as general packaging and non-consumable goods.
