Product Overview
Silica Gel (100-200 mesh) is a highly porous, granular form of silicon dioxide designed for superior moisture adsorption in laboratory environments. With a mesh size of 100-200, it offers an optimal balance between surface area and particle size, ensuring efficient desiccation without dust formation. This laboratory-grade silica gel is chemically inert, non-toxic, and reusable after regeneration by heating, making it a cost-effective solution for long-term use. Its high adsorption capacity allows it to maintain low humidity levels in storage containers, protecting sensitive equipment and samples from moisture damage. The uniform particle distribution ensures consistent performance in applications such as column chromatography, where precise flow rates are critical. Additionally, its blue indicating variant (when available) provides visual confirmation of saturation, simplifying maintenance. Ideal for use in desiccators, storage cabinets, and experimental setups, this silica gel meets stringent quality standards for reliability in research and industrial applications.
FAQs
1. What is the adsorption capacity of this silica gel?
This silica gel can adsorb up to 40% of its weight in moisture under standard conditions, depending on humidity levels.
2. Can it be reused after saturation?
Yes, it can be regenerated by heating at 120°C for 2-3 hours to remove absorbed moisture.
3. Is this silica gel suitable for food-grade applications?
No, this is laboratory-grade silica gel and not certified for direct food contact.
4. How should it be stored when not in use?
Store in an airtight container to prevent premature moisture absorption before use.
5. Does it contain any indicators for saturation?
This variant is non-indicating; for visual saturation alerts, consider cobalt chloride-free indicating silica gel.
