When and How to Reactivate Unit:

The desiccant content has a reversible action. Once it has adsorbed all the moisture it can hold, indicated by a color change from blue to pink, it can be regenerated easily with a conventional oven. After regeneration, it will be capable of readsorbing its full capacity. This cycle can be repeated over and over again, making it the "forever" desiccant.

Note the small transparent "indicator" window on one side of the unit. When the crystals beneath are blue, the unit is active. When they turn pink, reactivate as follows: Place unit in a vented 300 degree oven for 3 hours (or, until window turns blue again) Do Not Microwave can be reactivated indefinitely, Provides a lifetime of Protection !!

Uses for Silica Gel; Problems solved by Silica Gel protection.

Most damage to stored valuables and supplies is caused by humidity trapped within the enclosed storage area itself ... be it a safe, gun, camera or telescope case, video tape or photograph collection, computer parts and accessories such as CD-ROM cases, tool box, storage container, display case, shipping container, locker, silver drawer, whatever. Humidity trapped within enclosed space turns into almost imperceptible condensation which causes irreparable damage: rust, corrosion, oxidation, tarnish of tools, electronic, computer and other valuable equipment, coin collections, silverware mildew, fungus, mold, odor, spoilage spotting, toning, stains, gum damage, cracks to stamp collections and valuable documents, photographs, videos shortened "shelf-life" of photographic film, batteries, fogging of lenses deterioration of foods, medicines, etc. Silica gel prevents these moisture related problems before they begin.

(Manufacturers know this. That's why they often include a small packet of silica gel in shipments of new guns, cameras, electronics, leather goods, pharmaceutics, etc.)
Silica gel creates a protective shield of dry air within any enclosed storage area.

What is Silica Gel; How does Silica Gel work?

Silica gel was developed just prior to WWI and was used in Allied gas masks; then, in WWII it was used extensively to keep penicillin dry. It remains the highest capacity adsorbent available today. Not a "gel" as commonly thought of, and not to be confused with "silicon gel", silica gel is a porous, granular form of silica, synthetically manufactured from sodium silicate.

The internal structure of each small silica gel granule is composed of a vast network of inter-connecting microscopic pores, which attract and hold moisture by a phenomena known as physical adsorption and capillary condensation. (It sounds ridiculous, but a single teaspoon of Silica Gel has an internal absorptive area equivalent to a football field, including the two end zones.)

Silica Gel is inert, non-toxic and safe to use to protect foods,
medicines, sensitive materials, electronics, films, etc. Even when saturated with
adsorbed moisture, silica gel looks and feels dry to the touch.

Silica Gel can be reactivated indefinitely. Each Silica Gel
unit has a built-in indicator which turns from BLUE to PINK signalling when the product is saturated with moisture and needs reactivation. Once saturated with
moisture, silica gel can be easily reactivated in a conventional oven for lifetime
protection.
Since World War II, silica gel has been the desiccant of choice by government and
industry.
