Silica Gel Pouches How Do They Help In Securing
Different Products
You might have found a small white packet in
almost every package delivered in carton boxes.
The paper packet carries silica gel beads to keep
your goods moisture and odor-free. Some people
also save these packets to reuse them while
storing household goods. Silica gel is made of
sodium silicate which is highly absorptive to
moisture. It can absorb up to 40 of its own
weight. It is no wonder that silica gel packets
have become a part of product packaging for most
of the sellers and manufacturers. Silica gel
beads have great moisture reducing properties and
help to keep packaged goods away from corrosion
and odor. Not only just keeping your shoes and
other products safe, but silica gel pouches also
perform several other functions including
protecting your eatables from bacteria. Silica
gel is available in multiple forms and one such
is white silica gel beads.
Silica Gel Packets Keep the Moisture Away These
small absorbent beads attract water molecules and
can control the moisture in a closed
surrounding. Silica gel beads are not supposed
to be used open, therefore they are packed in
porous paper bags that allow the contact between
silica gel and water molecules.

• Why Moisture is Bad for Product Packaging?
• It Molds the Products
• When we store items for a longer period of time,
  they are more likely to mold. They change their
  shape due to humidity which sometimes gets higher
  depending on the weather conditions.
• The silica gel packets keep the moisture away
  from the boxes where your items are stored. For
  example, leather gets mold if not kept in a less
  moisturized environment. This is why you find
  small packets of silica gels inside the leather
  item containing box.
• Creates Bad Odor
• During manufacturing, a product goes through
  several chemical and other processes. The
  manufacturers pack the products at the time they
  are ready to use. Products can smell so bad when
  stored in cardboard cartons for a long time.
• Silica gel pouches absorb extra moisture from the
  boxes to prevent items from the smell. You might
  have seen these packets in shoe-boxes and many
  other goods.
• Can You Reuse the Silica Gel Pouches?
• Though the silica gel packets say DO NOT EAT on
  its paper packaging, they are really very useful
  to your household. Here is how you can reuse the
  silica gel pouches
• Dry Your Phone
• If youve accidentally wet your phone the only
  way out is to dry it out as soon as possible.
  Silica gel packets moisture reducing properties
  can absorb moisture from the small cuts of the
  mobile phones.
• Take an air-tight plastic bag and put your phone
  inside along with an ample amount of silica gel
  packets. Make sure that the pouches cover both
  sides of the phone. Dont forget to seal the bag.
