It will absorb the moisture from the coffee and keep the powder free-flowing. Our favourite coffee jar captures moisture from the environment every time we open it for use and jams the coffee powder making it useless. This is the most common issue that we face in our daily life. You can easily prevent this by using these tiny silicon gel packs. Prevent your silverware from getting tarnishedĭue to the presence of moisture in environment, silverware easily gets tarnished. You will be surprised to know that the blades will never get tarnished and will be available for use for a long time. Unlimited reactivation cycles are possible.Store all your shaving blades in a jar and put a silicon gel packet in it. After you have ensured the packets have been successfully reactivated, place packets into an air-tight container/bag until ready to use.If they haven’t, place back into the oven for an additional hour. Once cooled, check to see if the indicating beads in all of the packets have returned to their original colour, orange.Remove tray from oven and allow packets to cool before handling them – they will be hot.Gradually heating packets ensures that they don’t bust during reactivation. Put the tray into the oven and heat packets for 3 hours at 105☌ (fan-forced) – do not pre-heat oven.Place the silica gel packets on an appropriate metal or glass oven-proof tray – avoid placing packets on top of each other, as this may cause uneven drying of packets.Reactivation instructions are as follows: Once the beads in the packets have reached their adsorption capacity, as indicated when the orange beads turn white (you may need to hold packets up to the light to better see the beads), they can be easily reactivated with any conventional oven. Silica gel packets can be used where processes and products need to be protected from the negative effects of humidity & moisture, such as: The high heat resistance & air permeability of Aihua paper allows all packet sizes to be easily reactivated in any conventional oven.

In addition, Aihua paper is relatively transparent, allowing the user to easily check the colour of the indicating silica gel inside. The material is light-weight & flexible, tear-resistant, has a smooth surface and contains no harmful substances. This allows you to easily tell when the silica gel needs to be replaced.ĭespite the name, Aihua paper is not really paper, and is actually a polymer being made up from Polypropylene (PP) and Polyethylene (PE). The indicating silica gel is completely white once it has reached 60-70% of its total moisture holding capacity.

The indicating silica gel is orange when empty, and gradually turns white as it adsorbs moisture. These packets contain orange indicating silica gel (mixed with regular white non-indicating silica gel), which will change colour based on how much moisture it as adsorbed. It is also non-corrosive, non-toxic, odourless, chemically inert, does not form by-products and has a low dust emission rate, making it safe for use with sensitive equipment. Unlike some other desiccants, silica gel does not become wet, or swell in size as it adsorbs water vapour. Silica get packets can be used to protect your valuables and supplies from moisture damage by absorbing and trapping water vapour in the air, preventing the formation of rust, mould & mildew, as well as minimising spoilage in food products.
