Reusable Blue Silica Gel Desiccant

Moisture Absorbing, Blue Indicating Silica Gel for Drying

Silica gel is a desiccant, or drying agent, that manufacturers often place in little packets to keep moisture from damaging certain food, electronics & other products. Silica gel desiccant beads are used to absorb moisture that comes from the air, environment, weather conditions and keep things dry.

Blue Silica Gel Beads are most important for humidity control. Color changes to Pink/Purple when 50-60% absorb moisture, still almost half more capacity is left to absorb moisture even after color change. Silica gel packs are reusable, can be reactivated with heat to dry out the moisture. Which makes these packets perfect for keeping things dry and moisture-free.

KEY FEATURES:

✓ Can be used for many times if dried properly (dry silica gel using correct method, degrade overtime).

✓ Reusable, Color Change from Blue to Pink/Purple, Bead Size 2-5mm.

✓ Reactivate, remove moisture by Microwave, Oven, or Sun Drying.

✓ An excellent product for drying flowers, dries flowers faster than borax mixture.

How to Use?

Dry Flowers: Put flower drying silica gel beads in to air tight container, place fresh flowers over the desiccant and seal, wait for 2-3 days. Check flowers are dry, if not dry enough, reactivate silica gel and repeat the process.

Protect Other products & Devices: Use a mesh bag, cloth bag or small plastic bottle (with holes on the lid) to hold silica gel, place your items and desiccant beads in a tightly sealed container to protect your items from moisture damage; you can use silica gel to protect 3D Filaments, Safes, Guns, Ammos, Canister, Collectables, Jewelry, Documents, Camera Lens, Clothes, Cosmetics, Books, Bags, Decorations, Wet phones, Cameras, Watches, Electronics, Shoes, and Many Other Valuables. DO NOT Use Blue silica gel with Foods, Medications, Vitamins, Spices, Pet Foods, please see health & safety warning below.

What is the deferent between Blue & White Silica Gel?

Warning: If overheat (oven or Full power microwave oven), desiccant beads will crack/Snap and lose the ability to hold moisture.

White/transparent type silica gel is a non-indicating desiccant, mostly used in one time use applications, such as those small packets you find when you buy some products, but you can reuse, only deferent they don’t change color/indicate when absorb moisture. Blue Indicating silica gel has cobalt chloride, which allows the blue desiccant change its color to purplish pink when it reached its maximized adsorption capacity. White silica gel is food safe, blue silica gel is NOT food safe.

How to Reuse Silica Gel (Reactivation):

Blue silica gel can be "reactivated" by baking in the oven and using lowest power settings in the microwave. I also bought some of the little humidity indicator cards so I can monitor the humidity in my containers.

1. Oven: Place in the conventional oven (electric) for 0.5 to 2 hours at 110-130 Celsius (DO NOT exceed 140 Celsius).
   ven; Depending on the beads' condition, they may take shorter than the recommended time; Please check the beads' color periodically.
2. Microwave: Microwave for about 7 to 12 minutes at lost heat mode, avoid overheating, best to microwave 3-4 mins, 1-2 minutes break and repeat couple of times.
3. Sun Dry: Place desiccant beads evenly spread on a large tray, place it on the direct sunlight. Sun dry may NOT dry silica gel 100%, for flower drying, best to use oven meathod.

Heath & Safety: Blue Beads contain less than 0.3% Cobalt Chloride which may pose health risk if ingested in large quantities; Do not use for food or medication.
