Silica Gel is a desiccant with large moisture absorption. Using Silica Gel allows protection of the products during transport and storage thanks to its high porosity which absorbs excess moisture in the packaging, ensuring product quality.

Silica Gel is silicon dioxide in a translucent granular form. It has a high porosity allowing it to absorb excess moisture in confined spaces.

Depending on the conditions of relative humidity and temperature to which the product is exposed more or less able to absorb moisture. Thus, at high temperatures the absorption capacity of the silica gel low.

Widely used to protect products from damage by moisture, during transport and during storage thereof. With the introduction of silica gel within the packaging prevents possible degradation or deterioration of those likely to have changes in the presence of ambient moisture products.

It is definitely an ideal place to ensure the quality of goods during shipping or stockpiles in warehouses, can guarantee the condition of the product upon arrival at destination or after their stay in stock product.

Since it is a non-toxic and non-corrosive product, it is used for many applications in several sectors.

Application of Silica Gel

It can be used in any application that needs an absorption of humidity, both in packaging and closed spaces. The common feature is that the areas in which the gel used must be confined, as otherwise absorb ambient moisture with consequent saturation product.

Currently used in the following industries:

• Food industry (can be in direct contact with food through a special fabric bag)
• Pharmaceutical industry
• Textile, leather, fur, etc.
• Electronics sector
• Industrial chemical
• Medical equipments
• Optical instruments (photographic material)
• Technical equipments
• Horticulture (dried plants, flowers and seeds)
