Among all the silica gel granular, the best one which is considered by most of the industrialist is silica gel orange beads. In this type of silica gel molecules impregnated is naturally an organic indicator. Also this type of silica gel granular has high absorption capacity. It is said that it has the capacity to absorb moisture almost 40% of its weight. Once the granular are fully contaminated it turns from orange to light orange then light green and then finally dark green indicating that it is fully contaminated. It is available in various sizes ranging from 2-5mm, 3-5mm and 4-8mm. It is used for various purposes like drying and storage of flowers and seeds, optical instruments and other devices and drying of analytical samples and solvents. It is also the best replacement of blue silica material which was widely used in breather transformers. Apart from this it is the best solution to protect electronic and communication devices.

Silica gel is basically a composition of silicon dioxide in amorphous form. So, it produces small and hard irregular beads or granular which look like crystals. It helps in absorbing moisture or odor. The absorption is possible because of the micro pores present in its structure. It not only absorbs the moisture but its interlocking feature locks them inside which results in change of shape and color of the granular. Moisture is easily absorbed in the granular because it possesses lower vacuum pressure than the surrounding air. Absorption stops when the level of pressure inside the granular as well as outside is equal. Silica gel is available in two types, one is indicating and the other is non-indicating. Under the indicating category comes orange and blue silica gel and white is the non-indicating type. By indicating silica gel it means that the granular changes its color after they fully saturates.
