The primary aim of using silica gel is to protect products and equipment from moisture and humidity disruption. It is thought to be the most efficient way to maintain moisture levels moderate so that packaging materials and other uses are not harmed. The blue crystals of silica gel have the ability to trap moisture in enclosed containers, decrease humidity levels within large containers or storage spaces, and resist corrosion of equipment and instruments. It's also known as blue desiccants and indicating silica gel.
Silica gel blue crystals have a glassy, semi-transparent appearance and contain cobalt as a colour predictor.
In addition, crystals' inner structure has the capacity to attract and retain hydrocarbons, acids, and other compounds. As the crystals turn pink, that means the silica gel has drained all of the moisture it can and needs to be removed or regenerated. This crystal can be regenerated by heating them to 150 degrees Celsius. It is mostly used as a desiccant in the packaging of goods. It can absorb water vapours at a rate of 40% of its own weight.
1-3 mesh, 3-4 mesh, 3-8 mesh, 5-8, 9-16 mesh, and other particle crystal sizes are available. Based on the application as well as the quantity of products, the best mesh size is selected. It produces long-term outcomes with no negative side effects. This adsorbent helps to keep materials dry by having a wide surface area, chemical consistency, and several micropores. Using this indicator to find out how much dehumidification you'll need.
BhavNil Chemicals Private Limited is the India's largest producer of silica gel blue crystals, which are used in a variety of commercial applications as well as food and pharmaceutical commodity packaging. To suit the needs of both customers and applications, they are available in small pouches and in bulk quantity.
