## Description

Our Orange Indicating Silica Gel Beads Silica Gel is a Pure, Vitreous, Porous Form of Silicon Dioxide made from Sodium Silicate. It is Purified and Processed into either Granular or Beaded Form. Its High Absorption Capacity is Attributed to its Millions of Tiny Pores. The Mechanism of Absorption is Purely Physical, with no Change in Size or Shape of the Particles even as They become Saturated. Even When fully Saturated, the Material still Feels Dry. Beads can be Reactivated by Placing in the Oven for 0.5 to 2 hours at 200 to 250F Or Microwave for About 10 Minutes at Defrost Mode. . Don't use over 250F in the Oven. Depending on the beads' condition, they may take shorter than the recommended time. Please check the beads' color periodically. Orange Beads will turn to Dark Green when 50-60% Absorbed with Moisture. Orange beads are free of Cobalt Chloride. Clever Protection 3D Filaments, Guns, Ammo, Canister, Collectables, Jewelry, Documents, Camera Lens, Clothes, Cosmetics, Books, Travel & Gym Bags, Decorations, & Valuables Clever Saver Wet Cell Phone, Camera, Watches, Electronics, Shoes, & Windshield.

Review: Works well to keep my 3D printer filament dry and is easy to recharge - I used this silica gel to keep my 3D printing filament dry. Functionality: It is bright orange when dry and goes a green/grey when wet and then needs recharging by re heating for a period of time (2 hours at 250F /120C or 10mins on defrost in a microwave ) to drive out the moisture. The container is very handy to store it in and keeps it dry until you need to use it. I found the container means you can easily pore the granules into the various filament holders I use. Quality and Durability: It seems to be working well. I have cycled it several times by re drying it in my Bambu AMS dryer and it changes from a greyish green back to orange. The quality seems just perfect for my use. The beads are quite large so if I am in a hurry I can just pour some into the bottom of my filament containers. I have uploaded a video to show the size of the granules and the colour difference between the wet and dry states and the drying instructions on the container. Also a photo of how I store some of my filament in cereal containers and using 3Dprinted spool adapters to hold the beads. I hope this helps you decide if this is right for you.
Review: Great product, works well. - Does a really good job of drying out 3D print filament. Easy to re-dry in the microwave. Highly recommend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: These look quite tasty. What flavor are they?**
A: They were quite dry. You may want to try antifreeze instead. It has a sweeter flavor and better mouth feel. /s I assume this was a sarcastic question. Do not eat silica beads or drink antifreeze.

**Q: Is the moisture indicating agent in this product Methyl Violet?**
A: Yes, methyl violet is added to serve as indicating agent.

**Q: How much do i need to buy for a 64 cubic foot closet?  can i fill women's hosiery with the beads and hang them?  the closet is ~90% air tight**
A: Information below lets you estimate how many gram of silica gel is needed at a given volume of your container. 
This is general estimate when used in an air-tight sealed container. The amount of silica gel needed will depend on several factors: 
1. Chemical properties of the product that will be used: 
2. Volume of the container 
3. Conditions and physical properties of the container 

Container volume – silica gel beads in gram 
4 cubic feet - 60 gm 
8 cubic feet - 120 gram
64 cubic feet - 960 gram 

960 gram equals 2.12 lb. If your closet is ~90% air tight, you can use the whole bottle of 2lb 1 quart orange indicating beads.  Thank you.

**Q: What kind of container do you put the beads into so they can do their job**
A: As Scott has answered, T-Sac tea filters will work.  Also, you can use organza bag, Muslin bag, or women's hosiery.  Many customers have used any of these bags and found them working well.  Thank you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does the job.
*by G***H on 1 August 2025*

Does what it says, and my small experiment fits seem to indicate that it can be "recharged". It is cheaper if you buy big 4kg buckets, but how much do you actually need? This item filled up the containers for my 3D printer AMS and containers for 4 multi-spool dry boxes.
