Silica gel is when used as a desiccant will absorb a third of its own body weight in water vapour making it the perfect solution for packaging where moisture could spoil, this is why you get a little sachet of granules in your new bag or in the shoe boxes et cetera. In the past packaging was weighted down by the clay desiccants, silica however is very light and therefore a preferred substance as it cuts down on shipping costs and it is not either toxic or flammable.
Ineos desiccants remove contaminants, improve the quality and expand the shelf-life of a wide range of consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, defence systems, electric and electronic systems, petrochemicals, and other specialty chemicals, helping to offer the best solution to our customers needs. The exposure of items to moisture during production, shipment and storage, can result in expensive and widespread damage such as rust, mould or microbial growth. Our silica gels provide protection by adsorbing airborne moisture, thereby lowering the relative humidity in the local environment to safe levels at which damage will not occur.
