- 【Indicating Silica Gel Beads】: Wisesorb blue indicating beads (2-4mm in size) are designed to change color within a humidity range of 20%-50%. Once saturated with moisture, the beads will complete the color change to pink. It’s important to note that the initial color change does not indicate full saturation. The beads will continue to absorb moisture until reaching 50%RH. We recommend periodically checking the silica gel beads to ensure their effectiveness.
- 【Easy to Reactivate】: Indicating beads are 2-4mm in size and have a vibrant blue color. Simply check the color of the indicating silica gel beads to see if they have changed from blue to pink. Once they turn pink, you can easily reactivate them by placing them in the oven for 0.5 to 3 hours at 200°F–250°F (not over 250°F). Actual reactivation time may be shorter depending on the condition of the silica gel beads. Remember to check the color of the silica gel beads for proper reactivation.
- 【Versatile Application】: Indicating silica gel is widely used to protect various enclosed storage spaces including safes, ammo cans, toolboxes, 3D printer filament storage boxes, weapon cases, closets, and more. With 2lbs of indicating silica gel, you can effectively prevent moisture damage to guns, important documents, collectibles, books, jewelry, photo albums, shoes, camera lenses, toys, leather clothing, ammunition, photo equipment, and air dryer systems.
- 【Great Absorbing Capacity】: When used in an air-tight sealed container, our indicating silica gel has a general estimate of protecting up to 30 cubic ft of enclosed storage space for every 40 grams of active gel. You can easily use various containers such as T-Sac tea filters, tea bags, organza bags, muslin bags, mason jars, or women’s hosiery to hold the beads and allow them to effectively perform their job.
- 【BULK BEADS WEIGHT】: 1 Gallon of 8 LBS. By absorbing excess moisture, our indicating silica gel provides extended protection to your valuables, preventing potential damage caused by dampness. The color change of the beads serves as a reliable moisture indicator, alerting you to the presence of humidity and the need for precautionary measures.

I had been purchasing a different brand of desiccant beads that change from orange to green. I wanted a larger quantity of beads and found this 8 lb package at a lower price per pound. These beads are slightly smaller in diameter than my previous beads. I weighed the container before opening and it weighed 8 lb 6.3 ounces so yes it’s a full 8 lbs of beads in a 6.3 ounce container. I use these with my 3D Printer to keep my filament dry between uses. I place each unused spool in a one gallon zip lock bag with a container filled with beads. I designed a 3D printable container that I use (can be found on the Printables website, search for 609780-max-air-desiccant-holder-spool). I also have a Bambu AMS where I use these beads to keep the 4 spools in the AMS dry. To monitor humidity levels I have a humidity sensor in my AMS. With the previous beads the lowest I could get the sensor reading was 20%. I replaced all the beads in the AMS with this new brand/batch and after 1 day the sensor read 11%; 2 weeks later and it still reads 11%. Note, this probably isn’t the actual humidity as the sensor isn’t accurate below 20% but it does give me a relative indication that the humidity is much lower. I’m very pleased with these beads and will reorder these if I ever need to reorder. I don’t think that will be soon as 1) 8 lbs of beads is a lot of beads and 2) these beads can be dried out in an oven set to as high as 250F and reused or in my case I use my food dehydrator set at 150F when the outside humidity levels are low.

Used for my 3D printer filament ams. Dropped humidity down to 10% from 48% in under a half day.

Used in a large shop desiccant compressor canister, these beads are working well.

The color change is very easy to spot, much more reliable than I was expecting. I use this primarily for drying 3d printing filament.

Works well and kept my filament below 10% for over two months. I noticed my humidity sensor going up rapidly over a single week but the bead color hadn’t changed. I put the used desiccant in a sealed jar and left it overnight. The beads are still blue but the sensor reads 31%. Great stuff as long as you don’t rely on the color change.

I bought this in this size because I wanted to put in storage some items I’d prefer with no moisture. I bought small mesh bags and used this to fill. the color changing is helpful in the long run and for the immediate use to dry electronics. Better than rice!!!!

I recently purchased the Wisesorb reusable Premium Indicating Silica Gel Beads (blue to pink) and have been absolutely thrilled with their performance! Initially, I got them to keep my 3D printer filament dry, but they have since proven to be incredibly useful for drying out electronics as well.
Pros:
+ Easy-to-see color change – The blue-to-pink color-changing feature is a game-changer, allowing me to clearly see when the beads have absorbed moisture and need to be recharged.
+ Eco-friendly – I love that these silica gel beads are reusable, making them an environmentally conscious choice for keeping my belongings moisture-free. A few hours in my countertop oven and they were ready to go again.
+ Long-lasting – The 8 lbs container is a fantastic value, as it provides enough silica gel beads to last a lifetime. You’ll never need to worry about running out!
Cons:
Minor bead breakage – The only downside I’ve experienced is that some of the beads were broken, causing them to slip through my containers. However, this is a very minor issue considering the overall effectiveness of the product.
I highly recommend these Silica Gel Beads for anyone in need of a reliable and environmentally friendly moisture control solution. Whether you’re looking to keep your 3D printer filament dry or save your electronics from water damage, these beads are a versatile and dependable choice.
