Silica gel desiccant ndi zinthu zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri, zomwe nthawi zambiri zimakonzedwa mwa kuchitapo kanthu pa sodium silicate ndi sulfuric acid, ukalamba, kuwira kwa asidi ndi mndandanda wa zochitika pambuyo pa chithandizo.Gelisi ya silika ndi chinthu cha amorphous, ndipo mankhwala ake ndi mSiO2.nH2O.Ndiwosungunula m'madzi ndi zosungunulira zilizonse, zopanda poizoni komanso zopanda kukoma, zokhala ndi mankhwala okhazikika, ndipo samachita ndi chinthu chilichonse kupatula 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.
