Presence of water in liquid and vapor form in a package containing metals had always been an unpleasant subject. Conventional Desiccants partially addressed these problems only if it were used in a right way. Silica gel is most commonly used desiccant, which attracts and holds water by adsorption and capillary condensation, allowing Silica gel to adsorb about 25% plus of its weight in water. VCI Desiccant
Procedure to Activate Silica Gel :
  • Safepack Silica Gel pouch contains 25% of blue coloured granules. Blue colour turns to purple to pink when Silica Gel is partially saturated. It becomes whitish on complete saturation, i.e it has become deactivated.
  • Take the deactivated pouches of Silica gel in a tray. Keep the tray at a fixed temperature (115 – 1250 C) for 2 to 4 hrs in a ventilated oven.
  • Check the pouch for colour difference. Initially the whitish granules will turn to pink and as time passes the indicative type of granules will become blue in colour.
  • The colour change from white to blue confirms that Silica gel is reactivated and ready for use.
  • Repeat the same procedure every time so as to reactivate and reuse the same pouch of Silica gel.
Features and Benifits :
  • Silica Gel performs best at room temperatures (700 to 900 F) and high humidity (60% to 90% Rh) and will drop the relative humidity in a container down to around 40 Rh.
  • Indicating Silica Gel is deep blue colour when it is dry and turns from blue to purple to pink as it becomes saturated with moisture.
  • High crush strength and high porosity.
  • Remains dry and free flowing even when saturated.
  • Chemically inert and Non-Corrosive.
Application Industries :
  • Metal - Coils / Sheets/ Pipes and Tubes/ wires etc.
  • Automotive - Assemblies / sub assemblies/ parts SKDs / CKDs etc.
  • Engineering - Pumps, castings, forgings, spare parts, machines etc.
  • Electrical and Electronics - Motors, Electronic Panels, Instruments, Components etc.
  • Defense - Equipments and Parts.
Grades / Forms :
