For the starters, silica gel is a synthetic amorphous, porous or granulated product. It has a hard irregular bead crystal appearance. It is used for various applications in varying industries. It is created by the chemical reaction between Sodium Silicate and Sulphuric acid.

Silica Gel

Advantages of using silica gel as a desiccant
    • Silica gel is non-flammable, non-toxic, non-corrosive and odorless.
    • It can be reused by regenerating and has a very high lifetime, if stored air-tight. Heating the gel would remove the absorbed fluid and thus it can be reused.
    • It can absorb about 40% of its own weight.
    • It is inert to other materials.
    • The absorption capacity is 35% higher than that of other clay desiccants.
    • It can be packed in varying sizes for different applications.
    • When it comes to weight and efficiency, silica gel is a better choice than other desiccant.
    • The physical features of the product do not change on absorbing the fluid. In some cases, the beads are made to turn to another color, to indicate the presence of fluid.

Silica Gel is one of the most used adsorbent in the dehumidification process. Desiccant Silica Gel will absorb the moisture present in the ambient air and will bring down the humidity level accordingly. Whatever the application is house hold or commercial silica gel desiccant is used widely to dehumidify the air. For absorption of moisture indicating type silica gel which and non-indicating type silica gel are used. Also these both types are available to different forms: Silica Gel beads and Silica Gel Crystals. Silica Gel Blue containing indicator cobalt (II) chloride which after hydration turns to pink and after regeneration retains its basic color blue. Similarly for Silica Gel Orange containing indicator methyl violet and few a times phenolphthalein after absorbing moisture turns to green. Whereas in case of Silica Gel White it retains the same color even after adsorption because it does not contain any moisture indicator. Main process is of absorbing water that is present in form of moisture in the air and do an effective job.
Differentiation is as for the indicating types once it is in dry form contains the basic color and once it is saturated will change its color which is an indication that it’s time for the replacement. For

Silica gel is form of silicon dioxide made unnaturally from sodium silicate. Silica gel is solid and tough; it is harder than common household gels like gelatin. As a desiccant, it has an average pore size.  Normally silica gel is used in small beads paper packet. In this form, it is used as a desiccant to control humidity of belongings.


Electronic goods and devices have faced many problems from humidity, silica packets will help a lot for absorbing humidity from them. Silica gel packets are controlling moisture by temperature.  Silica also used for leather items to avoid fungous growth. For many reasons will be highlighted with the warning of “DO NOT EAT”.  It is believed that silica crystals can cause frustration to the human body and cause various side effects in human. Because of this reason it is advised to keep away from children.

Basically silica gel is porous sand. Silica gel is containing 40% absorption of moisture regarding its weight. You can also reuse silica gel pouches once wet has dried off; reheating them on 300 degrees makes them reusable. There are many companies who manufacturer and suppliers of silica gel packets, pouches. Basically industries are purchase silica gel packets in bulk order for getting good discounts. You can get price list from internet also, or you can also fill up inquiries page on website and get brief detail of it. like sorbeadindia is one of the reputed company for purchasing silica gel.
