Blue Silica Gel By Gud Brothers

P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }The Blue Silica Gel Crystal that we provide can absorb upto 40% of its weight in water which makes it perfect to be used for packaging purposes in order to protect the products from damage by moisture and other such factors. It contains cobalt chloride, which makes the crystal change color to a light pink color as it gradually reaches saturation point. Our Blue Silica Gel Crystal is widely used in refrigeration, power industry, bulk dehydration, gas drying,etc. P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; } What is blue indicating silica gel? This type of silica gel contains a blue indicating dye which will gradually turn light pink to indicate when the silica gel is full and no longer able to absorb moisture until its reactivated unlimited reactivation cycles are possible. For the indicating dye, blue silica gel uses cobalt chloride, which is classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as Group 2B: the agent is possibly carcinogenic to humans.  However, it should not pose any threat if handled correctly see precautions below. As an alternative, we offer orange indicating silica gel, which uses a safer compound for its indicating dye. Applications & usesSilica gel is used in a number of applications, including, but not limited to: Tool boxesStorage containersSafes and vaultsPhotosStored vehiclesIndustrial equipmentElectronicsCollectibles (stamps, coins, etc)Flower dryingCircuit boardsInstrumentsLeather productsComputersSeedsJewelleryDocumentsFirearmsBatteriesPhotographic equipment & filmTextilesMetal and machine parts PrecautionsTo avoid any risks, skin contact with blue silica gel should be kept to a minimum, and inhalation of dust formed by blue silica gel should be avoided. Silica gel of all types should not be eaten, and should be kept out of reach of children (may pose as a choking hazard). This particular type of silica gel is not FDA approved, so use with food is also not recommended. Reactivation instructionsOnce blue silica gel has turned light pink in colour, reactivate as follows: Place the beads in an oven proof tray, and heat them in an oven at a temperature of 105 to 115C for approximately 3-4 hours. After this time, let the silica gel beads cool, and then store them in an air-tight container until you are ready to use them again.
