Silica gel and desiccant
Silica gel is one of the most widely used and effective desiccants on the market for preventing condensation, corrosion, and moisture damage. Reál Marine supplies silica gel bags in all standard sizes, from 3 grams to 2500 grams, adapted for everything from small packaging to container shipments. We serve the industry, logistics, and offshore sectors from our warehouse in Tananger.
What is silica gel?
Silica gel, a desiccant, absorbs moisture from the ambient air inside packaging, containers, and shipments. It protects everything from electronics and instrumentation to spare parts, documents, and foodstuffs. Silica gel is chemically inert, reusable, and safe to handle – which is why it is the first choice for industry and logistics in Norway and internationally.

In addition to silica gel, we carry:
- Activated alumina (Desiccant AA300) – higher temperature tolerance
- Propadry Plus A315 – alternative adsorption properties
- Welding equipment for vacuum packing (sealing machines from Audion)
Silica gel + corrosion protection
For maximum protection, combine desiccant with:
- VCI capsules and VCI packaging – moisture + corrosion inhibition
- Breather filters – for gears, hydraulic tanks, and electrical cabinets
- Custom-fitted tarpaulins – for external protection
