Silica gel is available for immediate dispatch straight from stock with up to 15% off larger orders. Used as a desiccant, or drying agent, to keep electronics and other products susceptible to the dangers of moisture when in transit or storage. Our silica packets come in a range of sizes suitable for different packaging applications - if you’re using it, you’ll need about 5g per cubic foot, or 170g per cubic metre.
Despite the name, silica gel is actually very hard, and works by adsorbing liquids without losing any of its own solidity, making it a very effective drying agent, protecting electronics and preserving chemicals and archive documents.
