Key Features of SORBSIL® CHAMELEON®
SORBSIL® CHAMELEON® utilises a benign indicator system which changes colour as the gel adsorbs water vapour. In order to assist users, a chart showing the colour changes associated with this adsorption is available from INEOS Silicas. An example of this chart can be found below.

  This card should be used as a guide only. Whilst every care is taken; due to the nature of reproducton processes an exact colour representation is not guaranteed





Benefits of SORBSIL® Chameleon®
  • Colour change: The change in colour, from deep orange to ivory as the gel adsorbs water vapour, is clearly visible and enables the user to determine when the silica gel needs replacing in order to ensure continued protection.

  • Indicating system: Utilizes an inorganic compound that is not classified as dangerous under EC legislation, and hence can be used safely in a wide range of applications.

  • High performance: SORBSIL® CHAMELEON® silica gel exceeds all relevant national and international standards for adsorption capacity. Combined with low residual moisture, this ensures that the product is in the highest state of activity when received by the customer.

  • Regeneration: SORBSIL® CHAMELEON® silica gel can be safely and easily regenerated, allowing it to be re-used many times.

  • Cost reduction: The indicating properties of SORBSIL® CHAMELEON® in combination with its high adsorptive capacity removes the risk of contamination or mould growth thus considerably reducing costs due to product damage or loss.

  • Technical support: Our expertise with desiccant products, combined with our continued technical support, offers you the best solution for your application.
