General description

Irregular-shaped Silica gel with narrow, well defined particle size distribution delivering high separating performance, permeability and good reproducibility

Features and Benefits

Silica gel 60 (35-70 µm)provides users with:

  • High adsorptive capacity
  • High chemical inertness and non-toxicity.
  • Protective moisture-sensitive substances during storage and transport or for maintaining the dryness of anhydrous solvents.
  • Granulates in different sizes or beads
