Store silica gel in a sealed, airtight container. Avoid exposing it to open air for more than 15 minutes, as it will begin to absorb moisture and lose effectiveness.

Silica gel can be disposed of in household rubbish. If it has absorbed hazardous substances, follow the same disposal guidelines as the contaminant.

Silica Gel is a porous, granular desiccant made from amorphous silicon dioxide. It adsorbs moisture to protect products from humidity.

Silica Gel adsorbs (not absorbs) moisture onto its surface, keeping environments dry and stable.

Yes – food-grade white or orange silica gel is non-toxic. Blue silica gel is not food safe.

Yes. Reactivate silica gel by heating at 120°C (250°F) for 1–2 hours to release moisture.

Gel desiccants are regarded as the highest-performance desiccant, capable of absorbing up to 350% of its weight Calcium Chloride desiccants – High moisture absorption capacity, absorbing up to 150% of its weight. Mineral-based desiccants – Cost-effective for moderate moisture control, they absorb up to 70% of their weight. Clay-based desiccants – Environmentally friendly & Mil-spec ... Read more

Yes, seal off the vents – this will ensure no “new” air is introduced into the shipping container during the voyage.

A shipping desiccant is a moisture-absorbing product used in shipping containers, warehouses, and storage facilities to prevent condensation, mould, rust, and packaging damage. It works by absorbing excess humidity from the air, reducing the risk of container rain, and keeping cargo dry throughout transit.

When cargo is sealed inside a shipping container, temperature fluctuations cause moisture to condense, leading to: mould and mildew growth on textiles, food, and paper products. Rust and corrosion on metal parts and machinery. Warpage and swelling in wooden products and furniture. Packaging deterioration, weakening cartons, labels, and shrink wrap. Using high-quality container desiccants helps ... Read more

The amount of container desiccant required depends on: Container size (20ft vs. 40ft). Cargo type (wood, textiles, food, machinery, etc.). Humidity levels along the shipping route. Shipping duration (short-term vs. long-term storage). General Desiccant Usage Guide: 20ft Container → 4 to 8 desiccant bags 40ft Container → 8 to 16 desiccant bags High-humidity shipments → ...
