The Silica is reusable and can be reactivated multiple times and reversed back to the Orange coloured beads by placing the beads on a non-food use oven tray and baking them between 100 degrees C and 120 degrees C for 2 hours. alternatively Silica gel beads can also be reactivated in a microwave heating in bursts of a few minutes and stiring regularly WARNING. The Orange Indicator silica gel can sometimes bleed colour if it get very wet so care should be taken with it's use against light coloured objects / flowers. Safety and first aid information.

Review: Works very well - Works exactly as described. 2kg dried out my very wet car in the space of a few days and turned dark green. Afterwards I popped it in a cool oven overnight and it has returned to its desiccated orange state, ready to reuse. Very happy.
Review: Good dessicant for 3D printer AMS - Works really well, I'm using it in my 3d printer AMS and it's brought down the humidity 10 fold. Very good value for money size is great and I love the fact it's reusable. The colour change is really noticeable which lets me see when it's too far gone.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: We've condensation issues, every morning I clean a glass of water off the windows.Would this help with the condensation if I put it in the windowsill?**
A: Yes, it would, we use it to absorb water in many applications and it works well, you can recharge it in the microwave or oven.

**Q: What is the nominal size of the beads and what are the tolerances?**
A: Hi - 2-5mm - The tolerance is between 2mm and 5mm though in practice the largest tends to be 4mm

**Q: Could I mix a small amount of these colour changing silicas with the finer white silica to reduce damaging the flowers with use of the colour change?**
A: Yes absolutely you can do this.  We also sell a 'mixed bead' product 90% white with 10% orange and in that product we provide the 10% of orange in a separate bag (in the tub) so customers can choose to add some/all or none.
