An all-purpose, high-capacity drying agent, t.h.e.® Desiccant can be used to dry air, carbon dioxide, natural gas, nonpolar hydrocarbons, and organic solvents
To regenerate, spread t.h.e® Desiccant on a metal baking sheet. Heat at 120°C (248°F) for one to two hours. When completed, the product is ready for re-use.
It has a high adsorptive capacity and can adsorb up to 35.8% of its weight in water. It packs easily into drying columns and desiccators. The spherical shape enhances moisture adsorption in drying tubes. It maintains physical integrity, even when fully hydrated to eliminate messy slurries. It is inert except to water, which reduces the possibility of introducing impurities. Indicating form contains silica gel plus cobaltous chloride indicator. Indicating drying agents are blue when dry and pink when hydrated. Repeatedly regenerative. Non-indicating form contains silica gel.
