Silica gel is a type of desiccant that is used to protect against moisture-related damage by lowering humidity and preventing the formation of mould, mildew and rust.

Silica gel's extremely high surface area allows it to adsorb up to 40% of its weight in moisture. It has the ability to be regenerated multiple times.

Bulk silica gel is used in many applications within industry including use in transformer breathers & electronics.
