Description
Silica gel for desiccators, Labkem, size 2–4 mm, is an orange indicating drying medium intended for moisture control in laboratory desiccators. The orange indicator shifts to dark green according to the quantity of absorbed liquid, giving a clear visual signal when regeneration is required. This approach avoids conventional blue silica gel that contains cobalt chloride, a substance classified as toxic. Stated absorption capacity is ≥ 9,0 % at RH 20 % (7 min), ≥ 22,0 % at RH 50 % (19 min) and ≥ 38,0 % at RH 80 % (26 min). Regeneration is carried out at 100–120 °C for about one hour. Offered as a 3 kg pack from manufacturer Labbox under the Labkem line, the 2–4 mm grain size suits standard desiccator chambers and related drying setups. It supports routine humidity management in analytical, quality-control and general laboratory work where reliable moisture uptake and straightforward colour-change monitoring are needed without cobalt-based indicators.

Questions about Silica Gel, labkem, orange, 2-4 mm size, 3 kg
What is this article?
Silica Gel, labkem, orange, 2-4 mm size, 3 kg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox 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.
