Silica Gel is a high-grade desiccant, which consists of SiO2. It is chemically stable, insoluble in water, non-corrosive, odourless, tasteless and non-toxic. Four of our products, Hishi beads, Hishi pearls, S-Gel and Powder Gel are categorised by their particle sizes and forms. Silica Gel is widely used in food and industrial applications because of its high absorption capacity and safety. Typical examples are as desiccant packs in packaging of dried food, snacks, electronic devices, medical drugs and chemicals. In industry it is used as a dehumidifier or catalyst support for chemical processes.
