product overview
Silica Gel 400-700 Mesh is a high-purity, synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide renowned for its exceptional desiccant properties. This finely granulated material, characterized by its specific mesh size range, provides an optimal surface area for efficient moisture adsorption, making it an indispensable component in numerous laboratory and research settings across India. Its highly porous structure effectively traps water vapor, thereby creating and maintaining ultra-dry conditions crucial for protecting sensitive chemicals, reagents, and delicate instrumentation from degradation due to ambient humidity. The uniform particle size of 400-700 mesh ensures consistent performance and optimal air flow, facilitating superior moisture removal capabilities compared to less refined alternatives.
Designed for reliability and performance, our Silica Gel ensures the integrity and longevity of your valuable samples and equipment. It is chemically inert, non-toxic, and maintains its physical properties even after adsorbing a significant amount of moisture, making it safe for diverse applications. The consistent particle size ensures uniform packing and predictable performance in various setups, from desiccators and glove boxes to storage containers and analytical instruments, promoting maximum efficiency in moisture control. Utilizing this high-quality desiccant helps prevent aggregation, hydrolysis, and other moisture-induced reactions, safeguarding the accuracy of experimental results and the stability of materials. This product is a fundamental solution for any professional environment demanding rigorous atmospheric control and superior moisture management to preserve experimental fidelity and material quality, ensuring that your research and experiments proceed without compromise.
FAQs
1. What are the primary applications of this Silica Gel in a lab?
This Silica Gel is primarily used for maintaining dry conditions in desiccators, storage containers, and glove boxes. It protects moisture-sensitive chemicals, reagents, and delicate lab equipment from humidity, preventing degradation and ensuring experimental accuracy.
2. Is this 400-700 mesh Silica Gel suitable for all types of laboratory samples?
Yes, its high purity and inert nature make it suitable for a wide range of laboratory samples and chemicals. However, always ensure proper containment to prevent direct contact with the gel if the sample itself is extremely fragile or could react with any desiccant.
3. How should Silica Gel 400-700 Mesh be stored when not in use?
It should be stored in a tightly sealed, airtight container in a cool, dry place. This prevents it from adsorbing moisture from the ambient air, maintaining its effectiveness for future use.
4. Can this Silica Gel be reused or reactivated after it has absorbed moisture?
Yes, this type of Silica Gel can typically be reactivated by heating it in an oven at a specific temperature (usually around 120-150°C) until its original color and desiccant properties are restored. Consult specific guidelines for optimal reactivation.
5. What distinguishes the 400-700 mesh size of this Silica Gel?
The 400-700 mesh size refers to the particle granularity, indicating a very fine powder. This fine mesh size offers a large surface area for rapid and efficient moisture adsorption, making it highly effective for applications requiring quick and thorough desiccation.
