HOME line ORANGE Indicating -
silica gel with color indicator, changes color when exhausted.
The Orange Cobalt Free silica gel, contained in the HOME INDICATING DISIDRY® line sachets , is a highly prized product that stands out from the common white silica gel for its peculiar properties of changing color when it has now absorbed the maximum percentage of humidity. The now exhausted Orange silica gel turns to light blue and therefore signals its state of complete exhaustion.
Orange silica gel (purified silica dioxide transformed into beads) is a tasteless , odorless , non- toxic , non-corrosive and chemically inert substance . This particular silica gel with color indicator is completely free of cobalt salts, since 1998 the European Union has banned the use of silica gel with blue indicator, which contains cobalt chloride, an extremely toxic substance for humans.
The silica gel is not deliquescent , it does not change volume even when it is saturated and its surface remains dry at any level of saturation.
The silica gel does not release any type of liquid , keeping the moisture captured inside it. It is a completely inert and safe material, it is not dangerous to handle or stain.

How to best use desiccants?
Whether you use standard, indicating or clay sachets, the important thing is to use the product in the right amount and in the best way .
The desiccant sachets have a rather precise absorption capacity, so the more the space to be kept is isolated from ambient humidity, the better the duration and performance of the desiccant .
What does it mean? That any object you want to protect and store should be enclosed in closed boxes of non-breathable material (eg plastic) or plastic bags together with desiccant bags. This prevents the humidity that continues to build up in the environment quickly saturates the dehydrating salts, making their use vain.
