Use Silica Gel as a dehumidifier on your home

Silica Gel is a drying agent very famous for his use to absorve humidity and moisture. You can find small Silica Gel packs on brand new good to help keep humidity levels low.

Silica Gel is also knows as desiccant. It was patented in 1919 by Walter A. Patrick at John Hopkins University in Baltimore Maryland.

It shouldn't be called Gel as it might be confused silicon gel. Silica Gel is a porous, granular form of silica, synthetically manufactured from sodium silicate. Silica Gel can adsorb up to 40% of its weight in moisture and has the highest absorption capacity of any commercially used desiccant.

Even when saturated with adsorbed moisture, silica gel looks and feels dry to the touch.

Silica Gel is inert and not dangerous. It is non-toxic and non-flammable, making it safe to use to protect your foods, sensitive materials, medicines, clothes and much more.

When used in closed places (where mold, mildew & fungus live and breed) silica gel whisks away moisture to create a protective environment of dry air. It prevents all forms of rust, corrosion, oxidation, mildew, fungus, mold, fogging, etc.
