The European Union decided in 1998 that cobalt chloride is
a carcinogen and blue silica gel containing cobalt chloride was
thus prohibited and disappeared from European and American markets
. To meet the needs of the market , our Company developed color-variable
silica gel.
In the form of spherical or irregularly-shaped grains,
the gel is currently presented either purple, orange or yellow.
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, and its
color varies as humidity changes
::Use::
Mainly for drying and indicating humidity of precision
instruments, medicine, petrol chemicals, foodstuff, clothing,
leather, electric appliances, other industrial gases, etc.
::How to use::
Put proper amounts in a suitable container or package
and set the container or package where drying or humidity indication
is needed. This gel can be used independently or in combination
with other types of silica gel. After changing color as a result
of absorbing dampness, the gel can be reused after heating to
change back to its pre-use color. Heating is most suitable between
100-120
