Detailed Product Description

Presence of water in liquid and vapor form in a package containing metals had always been an unpleasant subject. Conventional Desiccants partially addressed these problems only if it were used in a right way. Silica gel is most commonly used desiccant, which attracts and holds water by adsorption and capillary condensation, allowing Silica gel to adsorb about 25% plus of its weight in water.

Procedure to Activate Silica Gel :

• Safepack Silica Gel pouch contains 25% of blue coloured granules.Blue colour turns to purple to pink when Silica Gel is partiallysaturated. It becomes whitish on complete saturation, i.e it has becomedeactivated.
• Take the deactivated pouches of Silica gel in a tray. Keep the trayat a fixed temperature (115 1250 C) for 2 to 4 hrs in a ventilatedoven.
• Check the pouch for colour difference. Initially the whitishgranules will turn to pink and as time passes the indicative type ofgranules will become blue in colour.
• The colour change from white to blue confirms that Silica gel is reactivated and ready for use.
• Repeat the same procedure every time so as to reactivate and reuse the same pouch of Silica gel.

Features and Benifits :

• Silica Gel performs best at room temperatures (700 to 900 F) andhigh humidity (60% to 90% Rh) and will drop the relative humidity in acontainer down to around 40 Rh.
• Indicating Silica Gel is deep blue colour when it is dry and turnsfrom blue to purple to pink as it becomes saturated with moisture.
• High crush strength and high porosity.
• Remains dry and free flowing even when saturated.
• Chemically inert and Non-Corrosive.
