Silica Gel Blue (500 gm)

Silica Gel Blue (500 gm) is a high-efficiency drying agent ideal for laboratories and industrial storage. It contains cobalt chloride, changing from blue to pink as it absorbs moisture, providing a clear visual indicator of saturation. Commonly used in airtight containers, instrument boxes, and packaging, this desiccant ensures the longevity and performance of sensitive equipment. Its reusable nature through heat regeneration adds to its cost-effectiveness and environmental value, making it a reliable choice for moisture control in varied applications.

Key Features

1. Highly effective moisture absorber for lab and industrial use.
2. Color change from blue to pink indicates saturation.
3. Reusable through simple heating for moisture removal.
