TS-Optics Desiccant Silica gel with colour indicator, reusable (150 g)

Silica gel protects your optics and accessories from moisture - optimal for storage

Silica Gel by TS is environmentally friendly and reusable as often as you want. It is ideal for storing telescopes, cameras and all kinds of accessories. Its color indicates when re-activating the agent is necessary.

Re-activating the Silica Gel:

When the pearls become more and more colourless, they are saturated with water, so the desiccant must be re-activated. Simply place the pearls in a heat-resistant container, put them in the oven and then slowly heat the oven up to a maximum of 120 °C, but better only 110 °C. When the pearls are back to their orange-pink colour, the desiccant can be used again. This process can be repeated as often as you like, nothing has to be thrown away.

Hints: The plastic bag is not heat-resistant, it must not be taken into the oven. And a microwave oven is completely unsuitable, because first of all you cannot set a temperature there and secondly the quick heating up makes the water evaporate suddenly - the pearls burst.

Use of the silica gel:

An air-permeable cloth is best suited. An old sheet or an old cloth bag would be ideal. It is important that the material is air-permeable, otherwise the desiccant cannot develop its effect. Just put the pearls into the bag and close it with a knot.
