Silica Gel

Silica gel is a porous silicon dioxide desiccant used to adsorb moisture from the surrounding air. It helps maintain a dry environment in laboratory desiccators and suitable enclosed storage containers for moisture-sensitive materials.

Choose the packing weight that suits your application, from small quantities for compact containers to larger quantities for laboratory drying workflows.

Confirm the supplied grade

Colour, indicator chemistry, particle size and packaging format are not specified for the selectable weights. Confirm these details before ordering. Do not assume the material is cobalt-free, suitable for food or pharmaceutical contact, or chromatography-grade.

Handling and storage

Keep sealed when not in use and follow the supplier's safety data sheet. Do not ingest, and avoid generating or inhaling dust. Regenerate only if the supplied grade is rated for it, following the manufacturer's temperature and handling instructions.
