Silica gel is used in pharmaceuticals, medical products, medical devices, healthcare products and test kits to maintain the integrity of their products from the supply chain to the end customer.Rapid test kit desiccants are silica gel, clay, molecular sieve and activated carbon.

Non-indicative silica gel does not change color when it absorbs moisture. This type of silica gel is commonly used in packaging. Non-indicative silica gel mainly includes white silica gel beads and silica gel crystals.

White silica gel prefers to absorb water and other large amounts of moisture containing HC1, CO2, hydrocarbons, nitrogen, sulfur and aromatic compounds. In addition, white silica gel helps prevent moisture, deterioration and mold in packaging materials.

Silica gel crystals are always used to dry products even when saturated with moisture, and it is the best known desiccant used in a wide range of applications such as pharmaceuticals, compressed air dryers, electronics packaging, dehumidification processes, dehydrated foods, and more.

Silica Gel Applications

I. Food-grade silicone products

Silicone is a non-toxic, odorless and harmless material, so it is widely used in food packaging, jewelry manufacturing, kitchen utensils and other fields. Common food-grade silicone products include food containers, lunch boxes, baking pans, cake molds and so on.

Second, household goods

Silicone's high temperature resistance and flexibility make it an ideal material for household goods, such as pen bags, cup covers, watch bands, cell phone cases, computer mouse pads and so on. At the same time, the silicone material is also waterproof, stain-resistant and other characteristics, more convenient to use.

Third, medical equipment

Silicone is a biocompatible material that is widely used in the field of medical devices, such as medical silicone infusion tubes, prostheses, dictionaries and so on. Silicone material has the characteristics of flexibility, elasticity, high temperature resistance, cold resistance, etc. It can be used in oral orthodontics, surgical treatment and other occasions.

Fourth, electronic products

Silicone is a material with insulating properties, so it is widely used in the manufacture of electronic products, such as cell phone shells, computer keyboards, mice, TV remote controls and so on. Its flexibility also makes it an ideal shell material for electronic products.

V. Automotive industry

Silicone has a very high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, so it is widely used in the manufacture of automotive parts, such as spark plugs, oil gaskets, air filters, exhaust pipes and so on. Silicone materials can also be used in the manufacture and repair of automotive parts, such as automotive glass, lights, tail, etc..

Sixth, building materials

Silicone is a durable, weather-resistant material, so it is widely used in the field of building materials, such as structural sealants, curtain wall materials, metal curtain wall sealing materials. Silicone materials have excellent water resistance, chemical resistance and UV resistance.

Seven, cosmetics

Silicone is a common ingredient in cosmetics because of its excellent wetting, antioxidant and waterproof properties, and is widely used in lipsticks, sunscreens, skin care products, shampoo and hair care products.
