Silica Gel Orange 25kg
In South Africa, orange silica gel is commercially used as a safe, indicating desiccant to absorb moisture, protect products like electronics, pharmaceuticals, and leather goods, and serve as a humidity indicator in packaging, instrument cabinets, and other storage environments. Its ability to change from orange to green upon moisture absorption allows for visual tracking of its saturation, and it can be reactivated by heating to around 100-120°C for reuse.
Silica Gel Orange 25kg Commercial Uses in South Africa
Moisture-Proof Packaging: It’s used in packaging for electronic devices, sensitive equipment, and even some foodstuffs to prevent moisture damage.
Product Preservation: Orange silica gel protects items such as prescription drugs, leather goods, musical instruments, and clothing from moisture damage.
Humidity Indication: It serves as a visual indicator in storage cabinets, electrical panels, and laboratory desiccators, showing when humidity levels are approaching 22% by turning green.
Flower Drying: It is also used to dry and preserve delicate items like flowers.
Key Characteristics
Self-Indicating: The beads change color from orange to green as they absorb moisture, making it easy to know when the gel needs to be regenerated.
Reusable: Once saturated, it can be reactivated by heating in an oven (between 100-120°C) or microwave, returning it to its original orange color for repeated use.
Safer Alternative: Unlike traditional blue (cobalt-based) silica gel, orange silica gel is generally considered a safer and non-toxic alternative, particularly for food and pharmaceutical applications.
