Additional Product Information
Overview
Silica gel is a highly porous, granular form of silicon dioxide produced synthetically from sodium silicate. It is widely used in aerospace, defence, and industrial applications as an effective desiccant for moisture control during storage and transportation.
Compliant with MIL-D-3464E, this silica gel offers one of the highest moisture adsorption capacities of any commercial desiccant, capable of absorbing up to 40% of its weight in water vapour at 100% relative humidity. This makes it a critical solution for protecting sensitive aircraft components, avionics, and equipment from corrosion, condensation, and environmental damage.
The 500-gram bag format is ideal for use in sealed packaging, storage containers, transit cases, and equipment enclosures where maintaining low humidity levels is essential for preserving performance and reliability.
