Silica Gel Beads Manufacturers

 

These silica gel beads are regular spherical particles. They have a smooth and fine surface, with uniform particle size. These silica gels are translucent or white in color. Some products contain color change indicators, which appear blue/orange. They are hard but easy to flow. There is no dust shedding. The particles are distinct in the dry state. After absorbing moisture, they keep their original shape and do not expand. These desiccants are suitable for filling various containers or breathable packaging.

 

Noted: We can custom desiccant for specific application.

 

Specifications/Parameters

Details

Product Type

Silica Gel Beads

Material

Non-toxic, inert, and porous silicon dioxide material

Size Range

1-5 mm (Customizable sizes available)

Color Options

Transparent, white, blue, orange

Moisture Absorption Capacity

Up to 40% of its weight in moisture

Humidity Level

20% RH to 90% RH (Relative Humidity)

Hardness

High mechanical strength and low dust formation

Temperature Range

-40°C to 120°C (Optimal absorption below 70°C)

Regeneration Method

Heat (100°C - 120°C) for 2-3 hours

Applications

Desiccants, moisture control, electronics packaging, pharmaceutical storage, etc.

 

Moisture Absorption

 

Parameter

Data / Specification

Moisture Absorption Capacity (at 25°C)

RH 20%: 6–8% of its weight
RH 50%: 20–25% of its weight
RH 80%: 30–35% of its weight
Maximum Absorption: Up to 40% of its weight in extreme humidity

Saturation Time

Reach 80% of capacity within 24h (at 25°C, RH 50%)

Recommended Usage

Small Containers (e.g., shoebox, camera case,etc.): 5–10g per liter
Medium Spaces (e.g., closet, storage box, etc.): 100–200g per m³
Large Areas (e.g., warehouses,etc.): 1–2kg per 10m³

Regeneration Method

Heat at 100–120°C for 2–3 hours (Reusable until degraded)

Operating Temperature

-40°C to 200°C (reduce efficiency at high temperatures)

 

Notes

  • The moisture absorption efficiency is affected by the ambient temperature and humidity. The dosage needs to be increased when the temperature and the humidity are high (such as RH >80%).
  • Saturation Judgment: Ordinary silica gel beads have no obvious change. Indicating silica gel will change from orange to green or blue to pink.
  • Not edible, keep away from children and pets.

 

Recommended Dosage (In Sealed Environments)

 

Dosage depends on container volume and ambient humidity. Here is the general guidelines:

Scenario

Recommended Dosage of Silica Gel Beads

Small Sealed Containers

5–10g per liter

Medium Storage Spaces

100–200g per m³

Large Spaces/Containers

1–2kg per 10m³

High-Humidity Areas

Increase dosage by 30–50%

 

Special Use Cases

 

1. Electronics Moisture Control

  • Camera Dry Cabinets: 50–100g per 10L (maintain 40–50% RH).
  • PCB Packaging: 5% of container volume (e.g., 500g for 10L).

2. Food Preservation

  • Use blue food-grade silica gel: 3–5g per 100g of dry food (e.g., 30–50g for 1kg).

3. Shipping Containers

  • Hang 4–6 bags (500g each) per m³ or use container desiccant strips.
