Silica gel desiccant user manual

1¡¢ What is silica gel desiccant?

Silica gel desiccant is a dehumidifying material made of silica gel, which has microporous properties and can adsorb moisture in the air, transforming it into a colloidal state. Silica gel desiccants can control humidity within a certain range, prevent moisture and mold, and are widely used in fields such as preservation, storage, and transportation.

2¡¢ Usage of silica gel desiccant

1. Open the packaging bag

Silicone desiccants are usually sealed in packaging bags, and the packaging bags need to be opened before use.

2. Place near the dehumidified item

Place the silica gel desiccant near the dehumidified item, and the closer it is, the better the absorption effect. You can place the desiccant directly on the dehumidified item, or hang the bag nearby.

3. Replace the desiccant

When the moisture absorbed by the desiccant reaches a certain level, the color will change and should be replaced in a timely manner. In general, replacing the desiccant every 1-3 months is sufficient.

3¡¢ Precautions for silicone desiccants

1. Avoid swallowing

Silicone desiccants have water absorption properties, so they should be avoided from being swallowed by children or pets.

2. Avoid contact with skin and eyes

Silicone desiccants have a certain degree of irritation. It is recommended to wear gloves and masks to avoid contact with skin and eyes.

3. Do not use in high temperature environments

Silica gel desiccants are not resistant to high temperatures and should be avoided in high-temperature environments to prevent accidents such as combustion or explosion.
