8 LBS Indicating Silica Gel Beads (Orange to Green)
Indicating Silica Gel Beads-All beads are cobalt chloride-free orange indicating beads (2-4mm in size) and will change to different colors at 20%-50%RH and will complete changing colors to green when they become saturated with moisture. When you find the beads begin to change color, it does not mean the beads saturated with moisture and the beads will continue to absorb the moisture until 50%RH. Please check the silica gel beads periodically which can be reactivated indefinitely.
Great Absorbing Capacity-General estimate when used in an air-tight sealed container: each 40 grams of active, the indicating silica gel can protect up to 30 cubic ft of any enclosed storage space. You can use any of these containers to put the beads into so they can do their job and will find them working well: fine mesh food straining bag, T-Sac tea filters, tea bags, drawstring organza bag, muslin bag, mason jar, or women's hosiery.

The reusable silica gel beads desiccant dehumidifier can be reactivated by placing into the oven for 0.5h-3 hours at 200°F-250°F (do not over 250°F). Depending on silica gel beads condition, they may take shorter than the recommended time. Please check the silica gel beads color.
