The Vacuum Desiccator is made from prime quality borosilicate 33 expansion glassVery good chemical resistanceHigh thermal shock and pressure resistance, operating with vacuumAutoclavableIt is designed for a range of vacuum applications, as well as desiccation of samples and storage of materials sensitive to humidness.
Materials that are sensitive to moisture are placed and shielded from the outside air in a desiccator. It is an airtight container that holds a desiccator, a drying agent, to absorb moisture. Chemistry labs frequently utilize desiccators to preserve chemicals, reagents, and other materials that are easily damaged by moisture damage.
A desiccator is an airtight container, usually a glass jar with a lid, that maintains a low humidity level by using a drying substance called desiccant. It is used to keep products that are sensitive to moisture and to cool and dry hot objects. Desiccators help in preserving compounds that react with water or are hygroscopic.
Anhydrous calcium chloride is usually used as a drying agent in desiccators. Drierite (calcium sulfate), silica gel, and molecular sieves are further drying agents that can be employed.
It is true that silica gel is a kind of desiccator, which is a substance that absorbs moisture and keeps things dry. In order to avoid moisture damage, it is frequently found in packets inside a variety of items, including food, electronics, and clothing. Silica gel is a helpful drying agent because of its capacity to absorb water vapor.
