RS PRO Silica Gel Desiccant (50g)
An absorbent silica gel desiccant in the form of hard irregular shaped silica beads. The material is designed to absorb moisture from air, gases and liquids to prevent the relative humidity (RH) rising to a point when corrosion, fungal growth and optical smearing will occur. ;Humidity indicating desiccators are hygroscopic (tendency to absorb moisture from the air) substances that protect against dampness, corrosion and contamination. The irregularly shaped particles absorb moisture without changing form or appearing wet. The material is inert to most chemicals and therefore will not induce corrosion. Due to its extremely hygroscopic nature contact with bulk liquid water should be avoided.;Silica gel desiccant is an essential component for any device or equipment susceptible to moisture attack and silica packets are ideal for a range of packaging requirements including the packaging and transportation of electrical, electronic and mechanical components, communication equipment, adjacent to metallic structures, cable joints and hygroscopic powders.
