China Type A Silica Gel Desiccant manufacturers and suppliers since 2009, with our own factory. Accept wholesale, OEM, ODM orders. Provide custom solutions.

This Type A silica gel desiccant is a highly porous, amorphous form of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) with a uniform micropore structure (average pore diameter: 1–3 nm). It is produced through the gelation of sodium silicate with sulfuric acid, followed by drying and activation to create a high-surface-area adsorbent.
Noted: We can custom desiccant for specific applications.

Moisture Absorption Capacity
1. High Hydrophilicity
Its porous structure (average pore size 1-3 nm) and abundant surface hydroxyl groups enable strong water affinity, achieving equilibrium adsorption of over 30% of its own weight at 25°C, with significantly higher efficiency at RH >60%.
2. Rapid Adsorption Kinetics
With a large surface area (650–800 m²/g), it can absorb >90% moisture within 30 minutes under 50% RH, making it ideal for fast dehumidification.
3. Selective Adsorption
It preferentially adsorbs polar molecules (e.g., water, alcohols), while minimizing interaction with nonpolar organics, ensuring high-purity drying in solvents like ethanol.
4. Thermal Stability & Regenerability
This This Type A silica gel desiccant can be fully regenerated at 150°C for 2 hours, retaining 85% capacity after 5 cycles.
Excellent Physical Properties
1. High Mechanical Strength
Compact internal structure. It has strong pressure resistance and wear resistance. It can withstand large external forces without being easily damaged
2. Low Powdering Rate
During use or transportation, this Type A silica gel desiccant is not easy to break and generate dust. It easily maintains cleanliness and stability.
3. Durability
Suitable for repeated adsorption or high-pressure environment. After long-term use, it can still maintain particle integrity.
Safety and Environmental Protection
1. Chemical Inertness
Non-toxic and odorless. Insoluble in water and organic solvents. At room temperature, this Type A silica gel desiccant does not react with most substances. It shows stable properties.
2. Biological Safety
Non-Toxic: Meet FDA standards. It can directly contact food and medicine.
Non-Irritating: Under normal use, it will not release harmful substances, but dust inhalation should be avoided.
3. Environmental Protection
It can be recycled or landfilled. Do not pollute the environment.
