Product Description
Silica Gel Blue Coarse SQ by Qualigens is a reliable desiccant designed for efficient moisture control in laboratories, warehouses, and industrial settings. These coarse granules (2-5mm) are engineered to absorb humidity effectively, protecting sensitive equipment, chemicals, and stored materials from damage caused by excess moisture.
Unlike fine silica gel, the coarse variant offers better airflow and reduced dust, making it ideal for bulk applications. The blue indicator turns pink when saturated, providing a clear visual cue for regeneration or replacement. Whether you’re drying solvents, preserving samples, or safeguarding electronic components, this silica gel delivers consistent performance.
At eqipped, we ensure you get authentic Qualigens products with batch-tested quality. Perfect for students, researchers, and educators who need dependable desiccants for experiments or storage.
How to Use Silica Gel Blue Coarse
For optimal results, place the granules in breathable containers or desiccator chambers. Avoid direct contact with liquids. Regenerate by heating at 120°C until the blue color returns. Store in airtight containers when not in use to prolong shelf life.
Safety and Handling
Silica Gel Blue Coarse is non-toxic but should not be ingested. Wear gloves during handling to avoid skin irritation. Keep away from children and pets. Dispose of used gel as per local regulations.

Is this suitable for food packaging?
No, this grade is for laboratory and industrial use only. For food applications, use FDA-approved silica gel.
How much silica gel do I need for a 10L desiccator?
Typically, 500g of coarse silica gel is sufficient for a 10L desiccator, depending on humidity levels.
