Rechargeable Silica Gel Desiccant Bead Collection in Orange or Blue, 1.2 to 64 lb – Dry & Dry
Rechargeable silica gel desiccant beads absorb humidity in enclosed storage, air dryers, compressors and 3D-printer filament containers. The Dry & Dry collection offers orange or blue bead selections in weights from 1.2 to 64 pounds for projects ranging from small containers to bulk moisture control.
The documented orange beads measure 3–5 millimeters and change to dark green after reaching the stated moisture level, while continuing to absorb beyond the initial color change. They can be reactivated in an oven at 200–250°F for 30 minutes to two hours or in a microwave on defrost for ten minutes.
