Silica gel desiccant ndi zinthu zogwiritsira ntchito kwambiri, zomwe nthawi zambiri zimakonzedwa mwa kuchitapo kanthu pa sodium silicate ndi sulfuric acid, ukalamba, kuwira kwa asidi ndi njira zingapo pambuyo pa chithandizo. Gelisi ya silika ndi chinthu cha amorphous, ndipo mankhwala ake ndi mSiO2. nH2O. Izo sizisungunuka m'madzi ndi zosungunulira zilizonse, zopanda poizoni komanso zopanda kukoma, zokhala ndi mankhwala okhazikika, ndipo sizigwirizana ndi chinthu chilichonse kupatulapo maziko amphamvu ndi hydrofluoric acid. Kapangidwe kake ndi kapangidwe ka silika gel osakaniza amatsimikizira kuti ali ndi mikhalidwe yomwe zida zina zambiri zofananira zimakhala zovuta kusintha. Silica gel desiccant imakhala ndi magwiridwe antchito apamwamba, kukhazikika kwamafuta, kukhazikika kwamankhwala, mphamvu zamakina apamwamba, ndi zina zambiri.
