Silica Gel

Silica gel is a highly pure, porous and amorphous silicon dioxide. A tasteless, odorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive material, it is the highest capacity absorber available today. Appears and feel dry even when saturated with water, it is synthetically manufactured from the chemical reaction between sulfuric acid and sodium silicate.

This gel meets the requirement of the Japan’s Food Sanitation law and the United States’ FDA, the internal structure of silica gel is composed of a vast network of interconnected microscopic pores. These pores attract and hold water including alcohols, hydrocarbons and other chemicals by absorption and capillary condensation.
