SmallCorp silica gel is a type A Beaded Gel with an equilibrium moisture content of 30% and an M Value of 6.8 at 50% RH. We can ship Silica Gel dry or preconditioned to meet your needs. Available in bulk or via the products below.

Silica Gel Cartridge — Our standard cartridge is 4” x 1” x 10” and comes with 500g of gel. It is made from high density polyethylene and polyester nonwoven fabric and transpires through both sides. It stands on edge for maximum air exposure.  The cartridge is refillable, using SmallCorp gel or other media.  Custom sizes are available.

Silica Gel Pouch — Our standard pouch holds 250g of gel and measures 8” x 4 ½”. It is made from nonwoven polypropylene fabric to transpire through both sides. The pouch is easily shapeable to fit in irregular spaces. (Tiles also shown in photo)

Silica Gel Tiles — Tiles are available in ¼”, ½” and 1” thicknesses and hold 225g of gel per ¼” of thickness, per square foot of tile. They are made from polypropylene honeycomb and polyester nonwoven fabric. This flow-through design allows for optimal air contact with gel. Standard size is 4" x 10” with custom sizes available. These ready-to-use tiles fit beneath the display deck in SmallCorp or other cases.

Silica Gel Reconditioning
We offer two systems for rapid reconditioning of gel. The small unit will handle up to 3kg of bulk gel per batch. The large unit is designed for reconditioning up to about 50kg of tiles, pouches, or cartridges and comes with a small convection oven, scales, and Extech RHT20 Datalogger. This is very convenient for traveling exhibitions where gel may need to be reconditioned on the road. These units are designed to work with our online reconditioning calculator.

SmallCorp also reconditions silica gel for our customers. Please call for details.
