Silica Gel Desiccant is the granular substance which is made from another substance known as sodium silicate. This is the desiccant in the amorphous form falsely produced from the silicon dioxide. Though, it is termed as the gel, desiccant is essentially in the form of the translucent and hard granules.
Generally, all such materials are used in businesses that want to prevent products & goods from getting damaged due to excess moisture. Silicon dioxide is ideally considered material & the best ingredient in desiccant which helps adsorb water & control moisture content in the given condition.Usually, desiccants are available in sachets offered by Silica Gel Products Company in China; though, for some cases, they are got in loose form too. Since they are naturally found in the granulated form & not in proper gel form, they can be enclosedin small sachets of breathable materials. The sachet sizes completely depend on the volume of air which silica is likely to keep dry. The advantage of using this material is the amount of adsorption of water it regulates, which is known to be around 40% of original dry weight of a standard desiccant.
