Learn Blue Silica Gel
Blue silica gel, also known as indicating silica gel, is a type of desiccant that absorbs moisture from the air to maintain a dry environment.It contains a moisture-sensitive color indicator. This indicator, typically cobalt (II) chloride, changes color from blue to pink as the gel absorbs moisture. The color change allows users to monitor the moisture absorption process and replace or regenerate the silica gel when it becomes saturated.
