Product Description
Macro Pored Microspherical Silica Gel is known for having high surface area which provides ability to quickly absorb moisture and prevent mould growth. It is most commonly used for making silica packets that are intended to be utilized in packaging industry for keeping physical & chemical properties of packed items safe. In chromatography, silica gel is used as stationary phase and also as cat litter. It also finds application as stabilizer & anticaking agent in food processing industry. Once saturated, Macro Pored Microspherical Silica Gel can be regenerated by heating at temperature of about 120 degrees Celsius. It is considered to be odorless & non-toxic in nature.
Optimized Moisture AdsorptionThe macroporous architecture of microspherical silica gel ensures rapid and efficient moisture absorption, with a capacity exceeding 35% at high humidity. This makes it highly suitable for applications needing stringent humidity control, safeguarding products or processes from moisture damage.
Versatile Industrial ApplicationsMacro Pored Microspherical Silica Gel serves multiple industries owing to its high purity (98%) and customizable particle size (25 mm). It functions as a desiccant, drying agent, adsorbent, and as a catalyst carrier, contributing to operational efficiency in chemical manufacturing, storage, and transport.
Reliable Performance and StorageDesigned to remain stable under challenging conditions, the silica gel maintains its integrity with a shelf life of at least two years when stored in a cool, dry place. Its resistance to solubility in water and organic solvents ensures ongoing efficacy throughout its lifespan.
