Exceptional Moisture AbsorptionSilica Gel Type B effectively absorbs moisture up to 30% of its own weight, making it one of the most efficient desiccants for industrial uses. Its high surface area and controlled pore volume enable rapid moisture uptake, providing reliable protection for sensitive goods and critical drying processes in a wide range of environments.
Versatile Industrial ApplicationsThis silica gel is widely utilized as a desiccant, chromatographic drying agent, and chemical auxiliary, owing to its stability and purity. It caters to distributors, exporters, manufacturers, suppliers, and traders seeking moisture control for pharmaceuticals, electronics, and packaging, ensuring product integrity during storage and transportation.
Quality and LongevityWith a shelf life of up to 24 months when stored in tightly sealed containers, Silica Gel Type B maintains its efficacy over time. Its insolubility in water and most organic solvents ensures easy handling and recovery, while industrial-grade classification guarantees consistent performance for demanding processes.
FAQs of Silica Gel Type B:
Q: How is Silica Gel Type B typically used in industrial settings?
A: Silica Gel Type B is commonly used as a desiccant to protect products from moisture damage, as a moisture absorber in packaging, and as a drying agent in chromatographic processes and chemical manufacturing.
Q: What benefits does Silica Gel Type B offer compared to other desiccants?
A: Its high pore volume, substantial surface area, and ability to adsorb at least 30% moisture of its weight make it highly effective for rapid and sustained moisture control. Its chemical stability and industrial-grade purity also ensure reliable performance.
Q: When should I replace Silica Gel Type B in my application?
A: Silica Gel Type B should be replaced when it becomes saturated and loses its moisture adsorption capacity, or after 24 months if stored in tightly sealed containers, whichever comes first.
Q: Where is Silica Gel Type B manufactured and supplied?
A: Silica Gel Type B is manufactured, exported, and supplied by distributors, manufacturers, and traders in China, typically offered in 25 kg bags or drums for bulk use.
Q: What is the process of moisture adsorption for Silica Gel Type B?
A: Silica Gel Type B adsorbs water vapor through its extensive pore network and surface area, trapping moisture within the granules without dissolving or chemically reacting, ensuring dryness for stored goods.
Q: Is Silica Gel Type B safe for use with pharmaceuticals and sensitive equipment?
A: Yes, due to its chemical inertness, insolubility, and high purity, Silica Gel Type B is suitable for use as a desiccant with pharmaceuticals, electronics, and other sensitive items.
