What is Silica Gel?
Silica gel is the highest capacity adsorbent available today.
The internal structure of each silica gel granule is composed of a vast network of inter-connecting microscopic pores, which attract and hold moisture. Silica gel is commonly encountered in everyday life as beads packed in a semi-permeable plastic. It is widely used as a desiccant to control local humidity in order to avoid spoilage of goods.

What are the common applications of silica gel?
Most damage to stored valuables and supplies is caused by humidity trapped within the enclosed storage area. Silica gel creates a protective shield of dry air within any enclosed storage area. In other words, silica gel prevents moisture related problems before they begin. It prevents the formation of rust, corrosion, oxidation, mildew, fungus, mold, odor, and spoilage. Silica gel looks and feels dry to the touch, even when saturated with adsorbed moisture.

Is silica gel safe to use?
Absolutely! Silica gel desiccants are inert, non-toxic and safe to use. They are ideal for use with electronics, machinery, films, documents, foods, medicines, clothing, leather goods, collectibles and any other moisture sensitive products. They are excellent for commercial, residential, and general storage purposes.
