Self-Indicating Blue Silica Gel
Product Overview
Indicating type silica gel (silica gel blue) is impregnated with humidity indicator which changes colour from blue to pink as the silica gel crystals become saturated with moisture. Once the silica gel turns pink it cannot adsorb any more moisture. It needs to be replaced or regenerated.
Particle size available:
1/2, 1/3, 3/4, 3/6,3/8, 4/6, 4/8, 5/8, 9/16, 16/30, 30/60 Mesh or i.5-1.5, 1-3,2-4,3-5,4-6,4-8,6-10,8-10,8-12,10-25 mm. as per your requirements
