silikageeleissä
Silikageeleissä, often referred to as silica gel, are a granular, porous form of silicon dioxide (SiO2) that is typically used as a desiccant. They are synthesized chemically from sodium silicate. While silica gel is chemically inert, it is highly hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the surrounding environment. This property makes it an effective drying agent.
Silica gel is produced in bead or granular form and can be regenerated by heating, which drives
Common applications for silica gel include protecting goods from moisture damage during shipping and storage. It
