Silica gel | Art techniques materials
Silica gel is an amorphous and porous form of silicon dioxide (silica), consisting of an irregular tridimensional framework of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms with nanometer-scale voids and pores. The voids may contain water or some other liquids, or may be filled by gas or vacuum. In the latter case, the material is properly called silica xerogel,More info:wiki

You know those little packets that you often find packed in a shoebox or with a moisture-sensitive gadget? The ones that say “Don’t Eat” and “Throw Away”? Those are silica packets, and the gel inside can make your razor blades last longer. Here’s why.
When you shave, you’re getting a metal razor wet which can cause it to slowly rust if the moisture isn’t removed. Silica is desiccant, meaning it removes moisture and keeps things dry. Storing your razor with silica gel can help to eliminate this excess moisture and prevent your blades from rusting, therefore lasting longer. Combined with this razor sharpening trick you may be able to keep your razors for many years. Just be sure to always wash them before use.

Indicating Silica gel is a porous, granular, non-toxic and chemically inert amorphous silica with a high absorbent capacity.
As a desiccant, standard grades of silica can absorb 40% of their own weight of water. Because no visible physical change occurs when standard silica gel becomes saturated, we offer orange silica gel which changes to pale yellow when saturated.
Gel can be regenerated/reconditioned by heating, no special equipment is required, a domestic oven is suitable. The robust formula allows repeated regeneration, details on regeneration can be found in the ‘Specification’ tab below.

Silica Gel is available in porous, granular , and amorphous form, synthetically manufactured from the chemical reaction between sulfuric acid and sodium silicate. The internal structure of Silica Gel is composed of a vast network of interconnected microscopic pores which attract and hold water, alcohol, hydrocarbons and other chemicals by the phenomena known as physical adsorption and capillary condensation.
