Frequently Asked Questions
What is Indicating Silica Gel?
Indicating Silica Gel is a moisture-absorbing desiccant that changes colour as it absorbs moisture, allowing users to easily monitor saturation levels.
How does Indicating Silica Gel work?
The silica gel beads absorb moisture from the surrounding air. As the beads become saturated, they change colour to indicate that regeneration or replacement is required.
What is the colour change in Blue Indicating Silica Gel?
Blue Indicating Silica Gel changes from Blue (Dry) to Pink/Purple (Wet) when it absorbs moisture.
What is the colour change in Orange Indicating Silica Gel?
Orange Indicating Silica Gel changes from Orange (Dry) to Green (Wet) as moisture is absorbed.
Can Indicating Silica Gel be reused?
Yes. It can be regenerated by heating at approximately 120°C for 2–3 hours until the original dry colour returns.
Is Indicating Silica Gel safe for food packaging?
Orange Indicating Silica Gel is generally preferred for food and pharmaceutical packaging because it is cobalt-free. Always ensure the product grade matches your application requirements.
What sizes are available?
We supply Indicating Silica Gel in beads, sachets and custom packaging options, including 1g, 2g, 5g, 10g, 25g, 50g, 100g and custom sizes.
How should Indicating Silica Gel be stored?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from humidity to maintain maximum moisture absorption performance.
