Widely used as a desiccant, silica gel absorbs moisture to protect products from humidity damage. It is commonly found in packaging for electronics, pharmaceuticals, food, and clothing to prevent spoilage, mold, and corrosion. Its high surface area and porous structure make it ideal for drying gases and liquids in industrial processes. Silica gel is also used in chromatography for separating compounds and in controlled-release formulations in drug delivery. Due to its non-toxic and chemically stable nature, it is safe for use in consumer goods and medical applications. Reusable and environmentally friendly, it can be regenerated by heating and used multiple times.
