Pre-Conditioned Sorb-It Silica Gel
|
| Pre-conditioned silica gel desiccant can be used as a passive method of maintaining a specific humidity level inside a sealed container. For example, a museum might place a sensitive piece of artwork into a sealed case with desiccant that has been pre-conditioned at a specific relative humidity in order to maintain that humidity level for the artwork. Small amounts of moisture that leak into the case will be adsorbed by the desiccant, while small amounts of moisture that leak out of the case will be replaced by moisture released from the desiccant, all the while maintaining a nearly constant relative humidity level. Pre-conditioned silica gel is available in bags or bulk. Contact AGM's Sales Department to discuss your requirements. |

Activated Alumina Desiccant |
|
|
|
|
|
- Activated alumina desiccant is primarily used
for air drying and low temperature applications
- Especially suited for compressed air drying
systems
- Standard packaging in 25 kg sacks
- Large selection of sizes
- Extremely effective for drying gasses
- Activated alumina desiccant is a highly efficient adsorbent with large
porosity and contact surface
- Very stable physically and chemically,
even in high temperature and corrosive environments
