Storage and transportation of silica gel as desiccant

DIY:Use desiccant silica gel to make a dapproof electronic cabinets

To the spring and summer, sometimes the home is more humid, do not underestimate these tidal.You should be aware of protecting beloved cameras, lenses and some valuables from moisture. Buy Electronic Cabinets is not necessary, if you just have few photographic equipment.

In fact, the homemade Cabinets also can keep Away from Moisture. Better sealing of the container with silica gel desiccant, which is inexpensive, and can also receive a satisfactory protecting effects.

 

Desiccant silica gel is the most critical material for the dampproof cabinets. Now the desiccant silica gel available in commonly used three types are: silica gel desiccant, lime desiccant and carbon desiccant, the silica gel desiccant is most fit for the use.

Silica gel desiccant is divided into two types: blue silica gel and colorless silica gel. Blue silica gel with the increase of the adsorbed moisture from blue to red to show the ambient humidity, the drawback is that containing cobalt chloride, a micro-toxic, blue silica gel is widely used in equipment and other items moisture. Colorless silica gel is non-toxic non-hazardous products, widely used in food and medicine moisture, low price, if failure , the surface of Silica gel will become slightly yellow, you can replace. So we choose a colorless silica gel.

Reuse of silica gel

The Desiccant silica gel is heated in a microwave oven, place a few good tissues below the desiccant silica gel, and temperature was controlled at 120 degrees (equivalent to microwave oven in low heat), a heating time of 10 minutes or so, at the second heating, the silica gel desiccant can be reused.

A lot of people after using the camera, directly put the camera into the camera bag, then put a desiccant in the camera bag, this approach is not desirable, because the camera bag does not seal, the desiccant is easily saturated , and it would not achieve sustained drying effect.
Do not select the mothballs and lime desiccant, they are easily attached to the lens and other optical components, resulting in corrosion.

Container desiccant silica gel

Container desiccant silica gel can protect transportation security of products by controlling of the dew point to avoid fog rain phenomena. The unique design of the container desiccant silica gel ensures that it has excellent moisture absorption performance and the phenomenon of leakage and water dripping does not occur.
Silica gel Desiccant for Container has strong adsorption capacity for the vapor inside the container. It can effectively lower the dew point, thus controlling the condensation of vapor inside container. The weight of vapor that can be adsorbed by 100 gram of container desiccant is as follows:at RH 50%, 25gram min; at RH 90%,35 gram min.The desiccant can still keep its dry appearance after adsorption without causing any pollution.It can be disposed of as normal trash after being used.

How dose Silica Gel protect our product?

Most damage to stored valuables and supplies is caused by humidity trapped within the enclosed storage unit itself. Humidity in the space turns into condensation which can often cause irreparable damage.

Silica Gel products will help to eliminate rust, corrosion, oxidation and tarnish on tools, coin collections, silverware, jewelry, musical instruments and more. In addition, silica gel can protect seasonal storage, collectibles, clothing, leather and more from mildew, fungus, mold and odor. Furthermore, photographs, stamp collections, and documents can be protected from spotting, staining and cracking. See the list below for other areas where the silica gel dehumidifiers can be helpful in eliminating moisture.
These desiccant silica gel packets are usually used for preserving the quality of an object inside an enclosed package. Letting an object be kept ignoring the changes in humidity and presence of moisture inside the package will gradually damage the object enclosed inside a box. The first use of silica gel packets is mentioned to be in World War II to keep the penicillin dry; this proved that it is a great drying agent. It can also be used as air freshener, is effective in absorbing bad odors and gradually will eject fragrance all over the place. Important documents and belongings that should be dry all the time can be stored safely having desiccant silica gel inside the storage bins and other storage areas as it prevents the moisture and condensation. Camera lenses are very prone on getting moisture when there is a change in temperature. Silica desiccant can absorb the moisture present on the lenses of the camera. As digital cameras need more attention because of their delicate structure, putting some silica gel would be a great help for a longer lens life. Guns and ammo should also have protection against moisture. It is advisable to put silica gel packets on their storage. Thees will absorb the moisture present inside the storage. Moisture on guns and ammo will create rust and loss its reliability. Cell phones are very valuable to almost all of its users. Generating moisture inside a cell phone unit will gradually slow its original performance or worse, may make it a total wreck. Putting silica gel on the unit may lessen this to occur. It is an effective moisture-absorber and may save your unit from crash. Silica gel packets can be reused many times. An indicator is now available in the market to know if they should undergo regeneration process. Aside from putting it into the microwave oven or heating it under the sun, there is variety of desiccant silica gel canisters. It is said that when the indicator turns from blue into pink, the silica gel packets should be regenerated.

Chemical properties of Silica Gel Beads

Silica gel is a kind of transparent or milky white granular solid, its main composition is silica, chemical property is stable. Silica gel has an open porous structure and extremely strong adsorption, which can absorb a variety of substances and produce drying effect on human skin. It can be used in gas drying, gas absorption, liquid dehydration, chromatography and so on.
Silica gel is a kind of high activity adsorption material, which belongs to amorphous substance. Depending on the nature, silica gel can be divided into organic silica gel and inorganic silica gel. Organic silica gel is mainly used as a special material for aviation, cutting-edge technology and military technology. Inorganic silica gel can be used as a desiccant and can be reused. The Inorganic can also be used to make the case of the mobile phone, with extremely high impact resistance.
The application of silica gel is widely in life, we need to distinguish its true and false : from the appearance, the fake silicone wrist strap is easy to deform, the real silicone rubber is very good. When the silica gel is burned, the fake silica gel produces black smoke and the remainder is black powder. Real silica gel products is producing white smoke, burning residual is white powder.

Study on Blue silica gel

Blue Silica Gel is a highly useful variety of desiccant that It does not react with chemicals, and is tasteless, odorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive.
What makes blue indicating silica gel particularly useful is that, as It is extremely porous and can adsorb a large amount of water due to its vast amount of internal surface area, it changes color, going from blue to purple to pink as the moisture is adsorbed.
It can be used as a primary desiccant or blended with other desiccants in any application where visual control of moisture is required, such as compressed air dryers, gas drying, breathers, the protection of non consumable packaged goods, drying and storage of flowers and seeds, etc.

Something about Blue Silica Gel

The most typical indicating silica gel is blue silica gel and orange silica gel. Blue silica gel is also known as self indicating silica gel as it is prepared by impregnating white silica gel with cobalt chloride present in a concentration of 0.5 to 1% weight for weight.
The gel is mainly used for indicating desiccant’s absorbing degree and environmental relative humidity by being mixed with common silica gel in proportion.
One of the principal reasons for the use of Indicating silica gel is its ability to release adsorbed moisture when heated to a temperature of over 100℃. This means it can recovered and used again.
