Blue Silica Gel is a highly effective, non-toxic desiccant material designed for moisture control in sensitive environments. Composed of amorphous silicon dioxide (SiO₂), these hard blue beads actively absorb water vapor from the air, protecting stored items from damage caused by humidity, mold, corrosion, and degradation.
What makes Blue Silica Gel unique is its built-in humidity indicator — the beads change color from blue (dry) to pink (saturated), offering a clear visual cue for regeneration. This feature is particularly useful in controlled environments, packaging, and long-term storage.

When beads turn pink:
Preheat an oven to 100–120°C.
Spread the beads evenly on a metal tray or baking sheet.
Heat for 2 to 3 hours or until they turn blue again.
Cool and store in an airtight container.
Avoid microwave heating (unless specified by supplier), and never exceed recommended temperatures to prevent bead degradation.
❗ Not for ingestion. Keep out of reach of children.
❗ Use cobalt-free (non-toxic) versions for food and pharmaceutical applications.
? Wear gloves if handling large quantities to avoid skin dryness.
