Features and Benefits

Silica gel 60 (0.063-0.200 mm) provides users with:

  • High adsorptive capacity
  • High chemical inertness and non-toxicity.
  • Protective moisture-sensitive substances during storage and transport or for maintaining the dryness of anhydrous solvents.
  • Granulates in different sizes or beads

Packaging
