5 kg Bulk Silica Gel | white granular | Canister

The white granular silica gel bulk is a high-purity desiccant, packaged in a sealed polyethylene canister of 5 kg. This superior quality desiccant material is widely used in industrial, laboratory, and preservation applications, ensuring effective moisture control.

It is available in three main grain sizes to suit different technical requirements:

6 - 8 mm (default): larger grains, suitable for large volumes and systems with air circulation. They promote lower pressure drop and better flow distribution, making them ideal for large-scale filters and dynamic applications.

2 - 5 mm: intermediate and versatile grain size, suitable for most applications. It represents a balance between available surface area and airflow permeability.

0.5 – 2 mm: finer grains, suitable for limited spaces, compact cartridges, or small filters where it is necessary to maximize the amount of material in limited volumes. They require caution in airflow applications due to the higher compactness of the bed.

Product Features

Composition: Purified silicon dioxide, processed into high-quality granules.

Properties: Odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, non-corrosive, and chemically inert. These characteristics make it safe and versatile for a wide range of applications.

Structure: Characterized by a porous structure with a high specific surface area, providing superior moisture adsorption capacity.

Stability: Non-deliquescent, meaning it maintains a dry surface even at full saturation, without releasing moisture into the environment.

Absorption Capacity

The silica gel removes moisture up to 65 °C but performs best at room temperature (20–30 °C) and in high relative humidity conditions (60–90% RH).

Below are indicative values of its adsorption capacity, depending on ambient humidity:

Main Application Areas

Bulk silica gel is the ideal solution for moisture control in numerous sectors:

• Industry: Essential for the protection of machinery, raw materials, and finished products. Used in industrial plants, drying systems, and air treatment to prevent corrosion and deterioration.
• Laboratories: Used to protect moisture-sensitive materials, preserve chemical reagents, and dry gases.
• Museums and Libraries: An ally for the long-term conservation of ancient artifacts, historical documents, and artworks, preventing moisture-related damage.

Packaging and Availability

This variant of granular silica gel is packaged in a sealed polyethylene canister of 5 kg, ideal for professional use and medium-scale procurement. The product is always available for immediate delivery.

Various formats are available – from 500 g bags to drums of 15, 20, 25, and 30 kg – designed to meet different operational needs, from medium production to higher consumption. Immediate availability and ease of ordering facilitate procurement, even in dynamic contexts, helping maintain smooth and responsive supply flows.

Safety and Compliance

Silica gel complies with safety and non-toxicity standards. It is free of DMF (dimethyl fumarate) and meets CE regulations.
