Indicating Silica Gel is a highly useful variety of desiccant, available in a range of mesh sizes to meet the needs of its many possible uses in industry. It does not react with chemicals, and is tasteless, odorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive. It is extremely porous and can adsorb a large amount of water due to its vast amount of internal surface area. Since it is non-deliquescent, its size and shape always remain the same, and there are no chemical reactions or byproducts that result from the adsorption process. Even when saturated with water, the gel stays free-flowing, and dry. What makes blue indicating silica gel particularly useful is that, as it adsorbs water, it changes color, going from blue to purple to pink as the moisture is adsorbed.

 

Silica gel products are widely used in retail applications, added to the packaging of everything from electronics to medicines to absorb moisture. Desiccant packets containing blue indicating silica gel are also utilized in compressed air systems. It is possible to prevent mechanical failures due to moisture buildup by circulating the compressed air through a silica gel packet, so that the moisture in it is adsorbed. This technique can be used in railway locomotives, as well as in industrial settings. Compressed air systems with moisture absorbers are used in conjunction with high-frequency satellite and radio transmission systems, too, to prevent radio signals from weakening.
