Blue Silica Gel

Blue Silica Gel

Silica Gel Desiccant
​1. In the form of spherical or irregularly-shaped grains, the gel is currently presented purple, orange or yellow.
2. With silicon dioxide as the chief ingredient, the product performs all the functions of blue silica gel but does not contain cobalt chloride and is therefore innocuous and pollution-free,
3. Its color varies as humidity changes.

Product Description

Classic Indicating Desiccant

Blue Silica Gel (Cobalt-Chloride Indicating Type)

A trusted, highly effective moisture-indicating desiccant featuring a sharp visual transition from deep blue to pink/light red upon moisture saturation for reliable industrial humidity tracking.

Color Transition
Blue to Pink / Red
Adsorption Capacity
≥ 30% (at RH=80%)
Crush Strength
≥ 90 N/particle
Attrition Loss
≤ 0.3 wt% (Low Dusting)

Instant Visual Feedback & High Porosity Matrix

Blue silica gel combines a high-capacity amorphous silicon dioxide matrix with a cobalt chloride indicating agent. As moisture is drawn into the internal nanoporous network, the chemical structure reacts to cleanly shift the bead color from dry blue to saturated pink.

This provides immediate, unambiguous identification of moisture levels in closed systems, protecting sensitive equipment, instruments, and packaged goods against condensation damage.
