Uses - Silica Gel

 

The excipients' reactions to various factors, such as heat, moisture, temperature, and oxygen, determine the stability of drugs. Drug instability can be caused by these factors, chemically, biologically or physically. Shelf-life is another term for stability. Shelf-life is the time that the drug must remain potent and be safe for consumption. Drug instability can cause loss of active drug, bioavailability decrease, and the creation of toxic substances. Instability can be caused by moisture. Protecting the drug against moisture is crucial with silica gel sachets. These sachets trap moisture in the packaging and prevent moisture entering the container. This increases shelf life.


Moisture can cause hydrolysis of drugs. Drug degradation is often caused by hydrolysis. Water is the solvent in most pharmaceutical formulations. Many esters and amide drugs can be hydrolyzed in water. Water can also be used as a catalyst for microbial growth and as a vehicle. To stop drug hydrolysis, silica gel packets can be used. These sachets are smaller, easier to use, and lower moisture levels to 0%. These sachets can be used in food-grade and non-toxic ways. These sachets can be used in bottles, containers, and drums due to their various sizes. These sachets are compatible with a wide range of containers and drums. These silica gel bags can be used in many industries, including the pharmaceutical, engineering, diagnostic, and agro. There are many sizes of silica gel bags depending on their purpose. You can find them in sizes ranging from 1grm to 100grms. You can make silica gel bags from non-woven and composite paper. The non-woven material is more durable and can be easily torn. Industries use silica gel packets to protect electronic devices and circuit boards. Seed manufacturers also use silica gel bags. When there is water or moisture, seeds germinate. To stop this, silica gel bags are inserted into the seeds. These silica gel bags are used by diagnostics companies such as malarial kits and pregnancy kits.


Companies that manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients use silica gel bags. These bags can be used to store and transport large amounts of material without allowing it contact moisture. I should add that moisture can cause serious damage to many products such as those mentioned above. This problem can be solved with these silica gel packets Desiccant Manufacturers in India.
