Silica Gel 10x5g

Silica gel protects your optics and accessories from moisture - ideal for storing your equipment!

Use of the silica gel: The paper bags are water vapor permeable and can be used directly in foil bags or similar airtight accessory packaging. Airtight accessory cases are also ideal. On the other hand, air exchange must be possible between the parts to be protected and the desiccant, otherwise the desiccant cannot work.

Reactivating the silica gel: If the effect wears off, the desiccant needs to be reactivated. Simply put the appropriate sachets in a heat-resistant container or on a heat-resistant surface, put the whole thing in the oven and then slowly heat the oven up to a maximum of 120 °C . Do not preheat the oven. The sudden heat causes the pearls to burst. The desiccant can be used again after approx. 2 hours, longer does not harm. This process can be repeated as often as you like, nothing has to be thrown away.

Please note: the large plastic bag is not heat-resistant, it must not be put in the oven. And a microwave oven is completely unsuitable, firstly because you cannot set a temperature there and secondly because the rapid heating causes the water to suddenly evaporate - the pearls burst.
