Silicagel: Desiccant Bags for Moisture Control

Silica gel: the most effective desiccant solution to protect moisture-sensitive products

Silica gel, also known as silica gel, is one of the most widely used desiccants in industry to prevent moisture, condensation, corrosion and mould during transport and storage. Thanks to its microporous structure, silica gel is able to adsorb large amounts of water without altering its shape, making it an essential solution for sectors such as electronics, dry food, pharmaceuticals, automotive, textiles and international logistics.

At Conservatis we specialise in moisture control solutions for industrial and transport environments. Our range of standard silica gel desiccant bags is designed to keep relative humidity under control inside packaging, ensuring product integrity from origin to final destination.

How silica gel works

Silica gel works through a process of physical adsorption, trapping water molecules within its internal structure. This makes it possible to:

• Keep packaging dry even in humid environments.
• Prevent oxidation of metal components.
• Protect products during sea shipments.
• Prevent condensation during sudden temperature changes.
• Preserve sensitive materials without altering their composition.
  
  

Types of silica gel we offer

• Standard bags (5 g – 480 g): versatile desiccants for most industrial packaging.
• Silica gel with humidity indicator: beads that change colour when saturated, ideal for visual checks.
• Micro bags (0.5 g – 3 g): specially designed for electronics, hardware and small products.
• Orange silica gel in bulk: eco-friendly, regenerable and cobalt-free.
• White silica gel Type E: complies with international standard MIL-D-3464E, the most demanding for industrial transport.
  
  

Applications of silica gel

The most common uses of silica gel include:

• Electronics: prevents failures caused by condensation.
• Pharmaceuticals: preservation of tablets and capsules.
• Automotive: protection of metal parts and components.
• Dry food: prevents clumping caused by moisture.
• Logistics: long-distance shipments in sea containers.

Silica gel ensures that every product reaches its destination in optimal condition, even in high-humidity environments or under sudden temperature changes.

Main advantages

• High adsorption capacity.
• Non-corrosive and chemically stable.
• Works at both low and high humidity levels.
• Wide range of weights and formats.
• Complies with international standards.
• Compatible with sensitive sectors.
