Silica Gel 1Kg - Loose beads with indicator

Protect your filament, tools and electronics from moisture with Silica Gel 1 kg – Loose Beads with Indicator. The beads capture moisture from the air and are suitable for use in closed storage boxes, bags and containers.

• Effective moisture control: Silica gel captures water vapour from the air and helps keep humidity down during storage and transport.
• Colour indicator: The beads are orange when dry and change to green/blue as they take up moisture. The colour change helps you see when the beads should be dried.
• Reusable: The beads can be dried and used again. Follow the instructions below and do not exceed 80 °C.
• Material: The beads consist of over 97% silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and contain an environmentally friendly colour indicator without heavy metals.
• Contents and size: 1 kg of loose silica gel beads with a bead size of approximately 3–5 mm.

Drying and reuse

We recommend drying the beads in a dedicated oven or filament dryer at a maximum temperature of 80 °C. Higher temperatures can damage the silica gel beads.

Once the beads have changed from green/blue back to orange, they can be reused. Drying time depends on factors such as the quantity, moisture content and temperature.

Storage and handling

Store the beads in an airtight bag or container when not in use to prevent them from taking up moisture from the surrounding air. Reseal the packaging tightly after each use.

Silica gel is a desiccant and must not be eaten. Avoid generating dust and inhaling dust from the beads.
