Description
SICCO desiccant is a silica gel drying agent supplied as a 500 ml pack equalling approximately 360 g, with an integrated colour indicator that shifts from orange to dark brown through to black on saturation. The indicator system contains no cobalt(II) chloride, which supports safer routine use in laboratory and technical drying work. Granule size is 2,0–5,0 mm, and loss on drying is specified as ≤4 %, giving a free-flowing bulk material suited to desiccators, drying cabinets and moisture-controlled storage. Visual colour change allows operators to judge residual capacity without extra instrumentation and to plan replacement or reactivation in good time. Offered by manufacturer Bohlender within the SICCO range, this pack is intended for humidity control in research, quality-control and industrial laboratory environments. The filled unit has a net weight of 0,458 kg. Granules pour and fill cleanly for standard silica-gel workflows where reliable moisture uptake and clear endpoint indication are required day to day.

What is this article?
SICCO Desiccant, 500 ml = ca. 360 g with colour-indicator, colour changes when s is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Bohlender for laboratory use. It sits in Desiccators & desiccant, inside Tools & accessories, in Labware.
A desiccator is a closed vessel that keeps a dried sample dry, usually over a desiccant or under vacuum. The seal of the lid and the state of the desiccant, not the glass alone, decide whether water stays out.
The small tools of the bench are what the hand actually holds: a spatula for a powder, forceps for an object that must stay clean, a brush for a narrow neck, a desiccator when a dried sample must not take up water again. None of these reads a measurement. They keep the measurement possible. The apparatus around them is listed under ISO laboratory apparatus.
