Silica Gel 500g adsorbs (not absorbs) moisture onto its surface, effectively reducing humidity levels inside sealed packaging or containers.
Yes. Silica Gel 500g is generally non-toxic and safe to handle. It is widely used in food packaging, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and textiles.
While Silica Gel 500g 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 500g sachets are ready to use straight out of the packaging.
Store Silica Gel 500g 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 500g in household rubbish. If the gel has absorbed hazardous substances, follow the disposal guidelines for that contaminant.
You can purchase Silica Gel 500g directly from our website or contact our team for bulk orders and customised solutions.
In sealed packs, Silica Gel 500g can last for years. Once exposed to air, its lifespan depends on humidity and air circulation.
A general guideline is 5g of silica gel per 1L of air volume. Multiple Silica Gel 500g sachets may be required depending on the size of the space. Refer to our Silica Gel Calculator.
Oxygen Absorbers trigger an oxidation reaction when exposed to air, causing the iron powder inside to rust and trap oxygen. They function like sponges but for oxygen instead of moisture. Once full, they must be replaced to maintain an oxygen-free environment. Unlike desiccants, which absorb moisture, Oxygen Absorbers specifically remove oxygen.
Oxygen Absorbers (or scavengers) are small packets containing iron powder and other ingredients that react with oxygen to form iron oxide, effectively removing oxygen at a molecular level. Available in various sizes, they absorb oxygen until full. By eliminating oxygen, they extend food shelf life, preventing spoilage, mold growth, and oxidation—ideal for storing grains, dried ...

Oxygen Absorbers help preserve food by: • Preventing mold and bacterial growth by removing oxygen. • Extending the shelf life of dried foods, grains, and powders. • Maintaining freshness, flavor, and texture by preventing oxidation. • Protecting against insect infestations (bugs cannot survive without oxygen). Using Oxygen Absorbers in Mylar bags, mason jars, and vacuum-sealed ... Read more
