Inorganic Chemistry. A colloidal, highly absorbent form of silicon dioxide; widely used as a dehumidifying and dehydrating agent and in many chemical processes.
A highly absorbent ’sand’ that is used to dry and preserve flower blossoms and leaves.
a porous form of silica that is highly absorbent
A regenerative absorbent consisting of the amorphous silica manufactured by the action of HCl on sodium silicate. Hard, glossy, quartzlike in appearance. Used in dehydrating and in drying and as a catalyst carrier.
A granular substance that has high moisture-absorbing and emitting properties and is used as a moisture stabilizer in packing, storing, and exhibiting humidity sensitive objects.
A chemical compound often used in refrigerant driers to remove moisture from the refrigerant.
Silica Gel - A liquid suspension of colloidal sized particles of silica (SiO2).
Regenerated absorbent consisting of amorphous silica. Used as a drying or dehumidifying agent for gases, liquids or oils. Also used in certain types of packaging where moisture may be a problem.
A dessicant placed within a case to absorb moisture and inhibit rust.
Moisture absorbing compound used to absorb unwanted moisture
A colloidal form of silica used as a drying agent.
Silica gel is a granular, porous form of silica made synthetically from sodium silicate. Despite the name, silica gel is a solid.
