Where can I buy Silica Gel 500g?
How long does Silica Gel 500g last?
In sealed packs, Silica Gel 500g can last for years. Once exposed to air, its lifespan depends on humidity and air circulation.
How much Silica Gel 500g do I need?
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.
How does an Oxygen Absorber work?
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.
What is an Oxygen Absorber?
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 fruits, meats, and dehydrated foods.
Why should I use Oxygen Absorbers in food storage?
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 containers ensures long-term food storage safety.
What is the main difference between an Oxygen Absorber and silica gel?
The main difference between Oxygen Absorbers and silica gel is their function: • Oxygen Absorbers remove oxygen from sealed packaging to prevent spoilage, oxidation, and mold growth in food and sensitive products. • Silica gel absorbs moisture (humidity) to prevent condensation, mold, and corrosion inside packaging and storage containers. Both are essential for long-term preservation, but they serve different purposes.
How do I dispose of Silica Gel 2g?
Dispose of Silica Gel 2g in household rubbish. If the gel has absorbed hazardous substances, follow the disposal guidelines for that contaminant.

What is Silica Gel 5g?
Silica Gel 5g 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.
