Applications
SORBSIL® silica gel desiccants are used in a variety
of markets, a selection of which are shown in the table below:

Benefits
- High Performance: SORBSIL® 'A' quality silica gel meets and exceeds all national and international standards for adsorption capacity. Using its deep dried technology, Sorbsil A is delivered with very low residual moisture, ensuring that the product is in the highest state of activity when received by the customer - affording the maximum protection available.Consistent
- Density: SORBSIL® 'A' quality silica gel has consistent bulk density from lot to lot. This is particularly important in volume fill applications. Excessive bulk density variations can result in customers producing underweight (rejects) or overweight (giveaways) products.
- Ease of Use: SORBSIL® 'A' quality silica gel is available in a range of particle sizes optimised for each applicaton. It is supplied in 75kg steel drums and bulk bags to afford maximum durability and shelf-life.
- Trouble Free: SORBSIL® A quality silica gel retains its dry granular form, even when saturated It is strong and abrasion resistant and will create minimum dust in use.
