Silica Gel
Silica Gel is a granular, vitreous, porous form of silicon dioxide made synthetically from sodium silicate. Despite its name, silica gel is a solid.
It is a naturally occurring mineral that is purified and processed into either granular or beaded form. It is a desiccant commonly encountered in everyday life within small desiccant sachets.
Product Information
