Wonders of Silica Gel

We frequently find silica gel in new bags or shoe cartons. We know they’re toxic, and they keep the goods smelling good, but it has made people wonder whether it has more significance. Well, little did we know that the silica gel absorbs moisture to help maintain a product’s quality.

The properties of silica gel allow it to function as a drying agent, and it has proved its use in history as an indispensable tool in keeping penicillin dry during World War II. So next time your gadget gets wet, remember that silica gel gets the job done better than a bowl of rice.
