"Dry & Dry" [1 Quart] Premium Orange Indicating Silica Gel Desiccant Beads(Industry Standard 3-5 mm) - Rechargeable Silica Gel Beads(2 LBS): desertcart.com: Industrial & Scientific

Review: Dries well and color change indicator works very well - The blue desiccant silica gel beads work well to keep things dry. The very distinct color change is very helpful in determining when to re-dry the beads. I mainly use the blue desiccant in my AMS, and I've found I can go a long time before having to dry the beads. The bead size is perfect, with very few small particles that may slip through the desiccant screens or bags. I have completed three dry cycles on this batch already, and the beads are holding up nicely, so durability is not a concern. The bottle makes pouring easy, but I found that pairing it with a 3D-printed screw in a funnel improves the experience and minimizes spillage. There are concerns about the chemical used in the blue desiccant indicating silica gel beads, but I don't handle them often, and the particle size is large enough and heavy enough to not be an airborne concern.
Review: Great product - Perfect used in my compressed air dryer. Saves time and money by absorbing water at the central output instead of at each tool instead of needing filters for each tools. Great value that outperforms the desiccant provided with the dryer.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great!
*by B***. on January 16, 2026*

So far this works great. I'm using it to keep 3D printer filament dry inside a sealed bin. I live in a higher humidity environment about a mile from the ocean so this is a must. This managed to knock humidity levels down from 40% to around 12-15% and it's still holding strong after a few weeks. Will report back after the first time I recharge it. I'll continue using this in the future with my current set up.
