White Silica Gel - Non-Indicating Moisture Absorber
At Silica Gel Desiccant, our product range focuses on white silica gel in loose (beads and crystal form). As a trusted part of Sorbchem India, our white silica gel stands out for its premium quality and excellent moisture protection. We offer customisable solutions tailored to your specific needs in packaging sizes for large scale use.
White silica gel, or non-indicating silica gel, is a desiccant crafted to control humidity and prevent moisture-related damage. An amazing fact about white silica gel is that it retains its white colour even after absorbing moisture. It is ideal for discreet packaging and applications where colour change is unnecessary. The physical characteristics of white silica gel are semi-transparent and ivory-white.
It can absorb up to 40% of its weight in moisture, and works well even in areas with high humidity. The white silica gel comprises purified silicon dioxide, which is non-toxic, tasteless, and odourless.
The white silica gel is designed to keep its shape and colour intact even when it has reached its full capacity. It works well under a broad range of temperatures (up to 150°F) and remains free-flowing without producing any byproducts. In addition to water, it also adsorbs sulfur and nitrogen compounds, CO₂, hydrocarbons, and more. Though white-non indicating silica gel is specially crafted to adsorb water over other substances, it also adsorbs compounds such as sulfur, CO2, C12, HC1,gasoline-range, hydrocarbons, etc.
White silica gel is used in large industries, including manufacturing industries, seed and plant preservation, laboratory reagent drying and many more.
