Re: Silicate Gel Sachets, some possible reuse
- I do not know if we can put them in the oven to reactivate them!? ... It seems to me that they are pink if the product is saturated and blue if it is dry, no!? ...

It's easier to just make things complicated than complicate simple things!

Re: Silicate Gel Sachets, some possible reuse
Yes, it works in the microwave too (but it should not be used for cooking, it is not healthy, the silicate gel either by the way )
However, if you do not, you can use white rice Cn(H2O)p (the other is to eat and it attracts moths ) by putting it in small cloth pockets, sewn closed. The silicate can be removed from the rice husk (using a microwave: why make simple when you can do complicated) It has the same effect as the silicate much cheaper ... And suddenly we can put it everywhere every time or there is a risk of rust to preserve the things we hold (maids of mechanical tools, boxes to tools, drawers containing precious things, any cardboard box containing electrical and / or electronic equipment, places where important papers are stored, and especially the place where you store your memory cards and other USB keys ...!
Moreover, the range of optimum use of silica is limited (25 ° C to 40% hygrometry) outside its action is weak: poor adsorption capacity at low concentrations of moisture and low adsorption capacity to higher temperatures.
