Fine silica gel with humidity indicator 500 g
Silica gel with a fine grain size of 0.3-2 mm for drying flowers and other moisture-containing objects. It is characterized by a particularly high adsorption capacity and has a very long service life.
Once the indicator orange silica gel crystals have absorbed a certain amount of moisture, they change colour from orange to green, after which the silica gel can be regenerated (dried and reused). The flowers dry out without loss of colour.
Package 5 00 grams.




Specifications:
- crystals with a diameter of 0.3-2 mm;
- the flowers dry out without losing their colour;
- without cobalt chloride;
- made with highly active silica gel with a purity level of at least 99.5% SiO2 (based on gel without water);
- the crystals are glassy in appearance, translucent, hard, odourless and insoluble.
This silica gel can be regenerated and reused without significant loss of parameters. The drying time in a microwave oven is approx. 1 - 10 min at 650 W depending on the amount and height of the silica gel layer (1 kg approx. 10 min). Regeneration in the oven at approx. 110 °C.
Mixture of orange and transparent silica gel in a ratio of 1:20. The orange silica gel serves as a moisture indicator, changing colour.
Colour change with relative humidity and moisture saturation of the mixture:
- 0% orange - 8% yellow-brown (at 20 ° C, min. 20% relative humidity);
- 20% brown-green (at 20°C, min. 50% relative humidity);
- 30% green (at 20°C, min. 90% relative humidity).
The high adsorption capacity is ensured by the microscopic pore area with an active surface area of 800 m2/g.
