Industrial Use of Orange Silica Gel

Aquablue Orange indicating silica gel is a useful variety of desiccant; it has many possible uses in industry to meet all needs it is made in a range of mesh sizes. It is tasteless, odorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive and does not react with chemicals. It is tremendously porous and can adsorb a great amount of water because of its immense amount of internal surface area. Its size and shape always remain the same because it is non-deliquescent, and there are no byproducts or chemical reactions that result from the adsorption process. The gel stays free-flowing, and dry when saturated with water. Orange indicating silica gel is particularly useful, because it adsorbs water and then changes color, going from orange to clear as the moisture is adsorbed.
