Silica gel, white powder with a very high purity of pprox.
99.5% SiO2 (dry basis) and a large mean pore diameter of
approx. 100 Å. SG-5 wide porous, white can be reactivated without significantly impairing the efficiency. It is therefore very economical, easy to dispose and without any known adverse effects on the environment.

Applications
Due to its special pore structure SG-5 wide porous, white is applied for many technical processes:
Catalyst and catalyst carrier in varied chemical and
petro-chemical operations
Petrol refining
Dehydration and purification of liquids
The temperature at reactivation should not exceed 180 °C.
Packing
Airtight in 20 kg cartons,bags with PE-Inliner,Airtight in 500 kg bulk bags with PE-Inliner.
Handling
SG-5 must always be kept in airtight containers to avoid pre-adsorption with water vapour. Face masks should be used at continual exposure to extensive dusting.
