Different Types of Silica Gel Indicating Vs Non-Indicating
When it comes to moisture-adsorbing agents, silica gel is a popular choice. However, did you know that not all silica gels are created equally? There are three primary types: white, blue and orange silica gel.
In this text to connect, we will explore the differences between these two variants, helping you gain a better understanding of the unique characteristics and applications of these silica gel desiccants.
White Non-Indicating Silica Gel: What It Is & How It’s Used
White non-indicating silica gel is a highly porous, moisture-absorbing material absorb up to 30-40% of its weight in moisture that effectively controls humidity without changing color. Unlike indicating silica gel, which shifts colors to show moisture saturation, non-indicating silica gel remains white or translucent. Silicon dioxide making it a powerful desiccant for humidity control. Its highly porous structure allows it to trap water molecules efficiently, preventing damage to sensitive products like electronics, pharmaceuticals, and food. This makes it ideal for applications where visual moisture detection isn't necessary.
