Listing for 30pcs. of 10g Silica Gel Packets. Clear Beaded, Non-Toxic High Quality Desiccant. 300g of Silica Totald
White/Clear colored silica is non-toxic, and doesn't contain the carcinogens contained in color-changing additives of some types of packets. It can be re-used simply by the application of heat through either an oven or microwave. Silica gel packets are best used for the purpose of removing moisture from closed containers. A container with a strong seal like a decent safe may prevent things from getting inside but; that also means that any moisture cannot freely leave as well. Scenarios like this are where silica gel packets are going to work the best. While 1g packets will be just fine for small spaces, the amount required increases with the size of container.
Silica gel has the ability to lower the level of moisture in a closed area to less than 10% when using the proper amount. The easiest way to tell when a packet has become saturated is weigh it. If it weighs anywhere from 30 - 40% more than it should, it needs to be swapped out and reactivated. For reference: the volume of a cubic foot (12in x 12in x 12in) will require roughly 10-30g. When in doubt; use more.
Methods to reactivate as follows (Varies based on packet material, In this case cloth):
Oven: bake packets for no longer than 2 hours at 250 Fahrenheit, monitor regularly until you are familiar doing this.
Microwave: Nuke them on DEFROST for 5 - 10 minutes.
Again, if you can weigh the packets, this is the best indicator there is. Color is more convenient but requires cancer-causing dyes. Effective re-usability will degrade over time; no matter the brand. Packets are double packed into an anti-static bag. Yes, water is a polar molecule and has a partial-charge. Anti-static will draw outside water vapor away during transit. Order's before 2p.m on a business day are more than likely to ship same day. Order's are always rushed upon receipt of payment.
