Silica Gel
Bulk Packs
Whilst most frequently used in sachets, silica
gel has a number of applications in its loose form. These include :
use in transformer and breather units, desiccators and for flower
drying. To this end we offer a number of standard size packs, tins
and drums.
500 gram and 1 kg in sealed foil bags or plastic containers.
3 kg in poly tins.
12.5 kg in plastic pails.
25 kg in metal drums.
Larger drums/kegs also often available.
Grades usually available in these packs are :
Non-indicating (white) silica gel :
0.2 - 0.5 mm, 0.5 - 1.0 mm, 1 - 3 mm and 3 - 6 mm (granular)
Self-indicating silica gels :
Blue to Pink 0.5 - 1.0 mm, 1 - 3 mm and 3 - 6 mm (granular)
plus 1 - 3 mm and 2 - 5 mm (bead).
Fine silica gels (0.2 - 0.5 mm or 0.5 - 1.0 mm) are suitable for
drying flowers.
Dynamic adsorption processes often require a large silica gel (2 - 5
mm or 3 - 6 mm)
that allows air to be passed through them.
For desiccator units, medium silica gels (1 - 3 mm or 2 - 5 mm) are
suitable.
When considering a volume to be filled with silica gel,
approximately 700 - 800 grams of silica gel occupies 1 litre of
space.
Packs and drums are sold in singles or multiples. Prices are
quantity based, there are often dramatic price reductions for larger
quantities.
We are also able to sell silica gel in other
size packs, according to customers requirements.
