Agropharm silica gel products

Water vapour damages products causing corrosion to metals, coagulation of capsules and deterioration of packaging in general to name but a few. Silica gel sachets absorb excess moisture and protect your valuable products whilst in transit or storage preventing water vapour damage.

Silica gel is a fine pored white semi-transparent glass like solid. It has the characteristic of absorbing water from the atmosphere even under low relative humidity conditions. The product is 99% silicon dioxide SiO2 and usual particle size 1.5-4mm although different specifications can be provided on request. Bags and sachets are packed in hermetically sealed foil bags with a strong transit carton to protect the goods and make sure they arrive to you in pristine condition.

Why Agropharm silica gel

  • Agropharm uses only virgin silica gel and does not recycle and reactivate spent silica gel like some manufacturers.
  • Agropharm uses only the highest specification silica gel.
  • Agropharm is a silica gel manufacturer and not a trader which means we keep costs down and ensure high quality.
  • Agropharm silica gel is tested before leaving the factory to ensure it meats BS2540 (white silica gel) and BS3523 (blue silica gel).
  • Agropharm materials (gel and woven sachets) are micrbiologically tested to pharmaceutical standards.
