Type A Silica Gel is a desiccant and used to dry and maintain the humidity of a contained area. The term Non-Indicating means this type of silica gel does not change color when it needs to be changed.Non-indicating Silica Gel beads are manufactured by using sodium silicate to create a porous form of silicon dioxide (SiO2). It consists of 97% silica and 3% alumina with a highly porous surface and a lust for absorbing water. White Silica Gel is the type of desiccant you find in small packets when you buy a pair of shoes. While used to reduce moisture in packages when stored, our Silica Gel desiccant is typically used to dry compressed air and gas. Dew points of -40°F can be achieved with Silica Gel beads when using a compressed air dryer or gas dryer. Silica Gel can also be used as a catalyst carrier, separator, variable-pressure adsorbents, and other purposes. Since silica gel fractures in the presence of liquid water, it is typically protected by a 10% to 15% (by weight) layer of Activated Alumina desiccant as a water buffer on the inlet side of the desiccant bed. High moisture retention allowing for more efficient desiccant dryer operation. Uniform bead shape allows for lower pressure drop and less abrasion.
