White silica gel in small spherical crystals (beads) - grain size 1 - 2 mm - high purity.
The type of packaging will change based on the weight of the silica gel ordered: 1kg jar, 5kg can or up to 30kg drum.
It is possible to order the desired quantity by directly choosing the number of kg, the minimum quantity that can be ordered is 1Kg.
High purity white spherical silica gel specific for drying plants and flowers. Grain size 1-2 mm.
Thanks to the extremely small size of its spheres, this particular silica gel is used to delicately dry flowers, leaves, buds etc... without damaging the petals and delicate parts, thus ensuring uniform and effective drying.
In our blog you will find a short guide on how to use silica gel to dehydrate flowers.

Silica gel (silica dioxide purified and transformed into spherical crystals) is a tasteless, odourless, non-toxic, non-corrosive and chemically inert substance, in fact it is not deliquescent, it does not change volume even when saturated and its surface still remains dry at every level of saturation.
Silica gel is an extremely active product that has strong adsorbent capabilities, thanks to its interconnected pores, which form a vast surface that attracts and retains water through capillary absorption; during absorption no chemical reaction occurs and no by-product is created.
Silica gel removes humidity at temperatures up to 65 C° but it is preferable to use it at room temperature (20 / 30 C°) and high relative humidity (60-90% RH)
The white Spherical silica gel has the following indicative absorption capacity depending on the humidity present in the environment (% weight/weight):
(12+-1)% Exposure at 20% R.H. 23rd
(20+-2)% Exposure at 40% R.H.
(36+-2)% Exposure at 90%
The silica gel supplied meets all regulatory requirements of non-toxicity and absence of DMF contaminant according to CE regulations. For larger quantities please contact us for a quote request.
