Silica Gel Desiccant

Silica gel is widely used in the electronics, pharmaceutical and general industrial manufacturing fields with applications in both packaging and shipping products.

Silica gel also has applications in the food and perishable products industries.

NanoDES silica gel desiccant is available prepackaged in gram-sized drop-ins, canisters, unit-sized bags and specialty packs. We also have loose bulk silica gel for custom applications.

Silica gel blue(Indicator)

Mainly used for absorbing moisture, anti-rusting of instruments, gauges and equipment in the enclosed conditions. After absorbing moisture, it turns from blue to red visually ndicating the relative humidity of the given environments. When being used with ordinary silica gel or drier, it indicates to which extent the drier absorbs the moisture and judges the relative humidity of a given environment. It is widely used as silica gel drier for the packing of precision instruments, leather, shoes, clothes, foodstuffs, medicines and household electric appliances, etc.

Silica gel orange(Indicator)


Mainly used for drying and indicating humidity of precision instruments, medicines, petrol
chemicals, foodstuff, clothing, leather,  electric appliances and other industrial gases, etc.
Put proper amounts in a suitable container or package and set the container or package 
where drying or humidity indication is needed. This gel can be used independently or in
combination with other type of silica gel.
