Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why use indicating (blue) silica gel instead of standard white?

A. The colour change indicator gives a visual signal when the desiccant is saturated helpful where you cannot easily measure moisture content. This adds operational convenience for critical applications.

How many regeneration cycles can it undergo?

A. With proper heating (100-120 °C) and following best practice, indicating beads can be reused multiple times. But each cycle may slightly reduce adsorption capacity replace when performance drops significantly.

Is the cobalt chloride indicator safe?

A. Yes, for industrial use the indicator is standard. However, you should follow relevant safety instructions and avoid use in sensitive food contact or medical devices unless specified as cobalt free.

What packaging options do you supply for the Gulf region?

A. Standard 25 kg bags, Jumbo bulk sacks, container loads. Customized sachets or smaller sizes are available upon request.
