Product Description
Silica gel P UV254 is a 5 kg pack of granulated or powdered solid desiccant essential for column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, and adsorption of impurities in laboratories. Made of laboratory-grade silica gel gypsum, this tasteless and odorless product efficiently removes moisture and separates compounds due to its amorphous form of SiO2 containing water molecules. With neutral to slightly acidic pH, this product appears as white to off-white granules or powder with a refractive rate of 1.46. Its high density of 800 g/cm3 and insolubility in water make it ideal for moisture absorption. With an indefinite shelf life when stored properly, this silica gel is an indispensable tool in various scientific applications.
