The main component of silica gel is silica, which is chemically stable and does not burn. Silica gel is an amorphous silica, and the dust content in the workshop should be controlled at no more than 10 mg/m3. Strengthen ventilation and wear a mask when operating.
Extended data
Silica gel type:
1, inorganic silica gel
Inorganic silica gel is an amorphous substance, and its chemical molecular formula is mSiO2 nH2O. Insoluble in water and any solvent, non-toxic, tasteless, chemically stable, and does not react with any substance except strong alkali and hydrofluoric acid.
2. Silica gel
Silicone gel has the basic characteristics of low surface tension, low viscosity-temperature coefficient, high compressibility and high air permeability, and has excellent characteristics such as high and low temperature resistance, electrical insulation, oxidation stability, weather resistance, flame retardancy, hydrophobicity, corrosion resistance, innocuity and tasteless, and no physiological inertia, and is widely used in aerospace, electronic and electrical, construction, transportation, chemical industry, textile, food, light industry and medical treatment.
