SICCO Desiccant, 1000 ml = ca. 720 g with colour-indicator, colour changes when

SICCO desiccant is a silica gel drying agent in a 1,000 ml pack equalling approximately 720 g, equipped with a colour indicator that changes from orange to dark brown through to black when saturated. The formulation contains no cobalt(II) chloride, supporting safer handling during everyday laboratory and technical drying tasks. Grain size spans 2,0–5,0 mm with loss on drying specified as ≤4 %, yielding free-flowing granules for desiccators, drying cabinets and controlled-humidity storage. The clear colour transition shows remaining capacity at a glance, so replacement or reactivation can be scheduled without additional measuring equipment. This larger fill is practical where higher moisture loads or longer service intervals are expected. The product comes from manufacturer Bohlender as part of the SICCO line and suits research, quality-control and industrial laboratory humidity management. Net weight of the unit is 0,903 kg. Granules handle cleanly for standard silica-gel filling and regeneration routines that depend on dependable uptake and a visible saturation endpoint.
