Dehumidifiers By Highlark

• Appearance: Silica gel is typically found in the form of small, translucent, or semi-transparent beads or granules. It is available in various sizes and shapes to suit different applications.
• Function: Silica gel is primarily used to absorb moisture and humidity from its surroundings. It prevents the growth of mold, mildew, and other forms of moisture-related damage in various products, such as electronics, leather goods, pharmaceuticals, food packaging, and more.
• Adsorption: Silica gel works by adsorbing (not absorbing) water vapor. When placed in a humid environment, the silica gel beads attract and trap moisture molecules on their surfaces. This helps maintain a dry atmosphere, preventing damage and deterioration caused by excess moisture.
• Safety: Silica gel is non-toxic and chemically inert. However, it should not be ingested or inhaled, as the dust may cause irritation. It's advisable to handle silica gel with care and keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Reusability: Silica gel can be regenerated and reused. By applying heat, usually in an oven, the adsorbed moisture is driven off from the silica gel, restoring its drying capacity. This makes silica gel a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution.
