Silica Gel

FOVAC_® Silica Gel is a grainy, porous, transparent substance with a good surface area for the adsorption of water and organic/gaseous molecules. Adsorbs 25–40% moisture by weight.

FOVAC _® Silica Gel has a high adsorption capacity and can be regenerated. In addition to humidity control, silica gel has the ability to adsorb polar gases, which extends its application areas.

FOVAC _® Silica Gel is available in bulk or sachets. It comes as WHITE (Non-indicating) & BLUE (Indicating) Type. In the activated state, it is blue in color and turns pink as it starts absorbing moisture. The intense blue color is an indicator of its complete activation. Non-indicating is white in color and does not contain any indicator; it does not change in its characteristics after adsorption of moisture & after activation. However, both indicating and non-indicating material do not differ in their absorption capacity when the material is supplied in a fully activated state.

FOVAC _® Silica Gel is the desiccant of choice for a wide range of industries, including industrial gas and air drying, aerospace, telecommunications, pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and military. It conforms to the requirements of British Standard BS 2540, German DIN standard DIN 55473, and US Military Specification MIL-D-3464E.
