Silica gel is commonly used in electronics, food, vitamins, clothing, leather goods, toolboxes, safes, and shipping containers.

In sealed packs – years. Once exposed, its lifespan depends on humidity and air exposure.

General guide: 5 g per 1L of air volume. For bulk use (e.g. containers), use desiccants in grams to kilograms.

See type comparison table below.

The main difference between Silica Gel and Oxygen absorber 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, ... Read more

Silica Gel 0.5g is a small, 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 0.5g adsorbs (not absorbs) moisture onto its surface, effectively reducing humidity levels inside sealed packaging or containers.

Yes. Silica Gel 0.5g is generally non-toxic and safe to handle. It is widely used in food packaging, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and textiles.

While Silica Gel 0.5g 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 0.5g sachets are ready to use straight out of the packaging.

Store Silica Gel 0.5g 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 0.5g in household rubbish. If the gel has absorbed hazardous substances, follow the disposal guidelines for that contaminant.
