How quickly 100cc Oxygen Absorbers remove oxygen from the atmosphere will depend on the conditions. In dryer climates, it may take up to a week for 100cc Oxygen Absorbers to fully activate. Warmer, humid climates however accelerate the process and may take only 48 hours for the same result.
100cc Oxygen Absorbers trap oxygen. Given that air comprises 20% oxygen and 80% nitrogen, the absorber will only be removing the 20% of the atmosphere that is oxygen. The volume of nitrogen remaining will mean your bag will not deflate to the extent of the bag becoming hard or rigid.
A general guideline is 5g of silica gel per 1L of air volume. Multiple Silica Gel 25g sachets may be required depending on the size of the space. Refer to our Silica Gel Calculator.
Silica Gel 50g is a non-toxic desiccant used to protect products from humidity and moisture damage. It is made from porous, granular amorphous silicon dioxide, which adsorbs moisture to keep environments dry.
Silica Gel 50g adsorbs (not absorbs) moisture onto its surface, effectively reducing humidity levels inside sealed packaging or containers.
Yes. Silica Gel 50g is generally non-toxic and safe to handle. It is widely used in food packaging, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and textiles.
While Silica Gel 50g is non-toxic, it is not edible and may cause choking or discomfort. Seek medical advice if ingested, especially for children or pets.
No. Silica Gel 50g sachets are ready to use straight out of the packaging.
Store Silica Gel 50g sachets in a sealed, airtight container to prevent premature moisture absorption. Avoid leaving them exposed to open air for more than 15 minutes.
Dispose of Silica Gel 50g in household rubbish. If the gel has absorbed hazardous substances, follow the disposal guidelines for that contaminant.
You can purchase Silica Gel 50g directly from our website or contact our team for bulk orders and customised solutions.
In sealed packs, Silica Gel 50g can last for years. Once exposed to air, its lifespan depends on humidity and air circulation.
