SYLOBEAD® SG W 127 is a buffer gel for protecting adsorbent beds. It is a wide-pore, beaded form of silica gel that exhibits a high water capacity under conditions of high relative humidity, especially when water is present in the liquid phase. It also has a high capacity for liquid hydrocarbons and other organic liquids. When wet, it maintains its mechanical strength and integrity. For this reason, it is used as a buffer layer in molecular sieves and silica gel treaters that may be subject to occasional liquid carryover.

    Safety & Health

    Health and Safety Precautions
    • SYLOBEAD® SG W 127 Buffer Gel for Protecting Adsorbent Beds is an amorphous form of silica.
    • In active conditions it will release heat when adsorbing water or other substances.
    • If a large quantity of silica gel quickly adsorbs water, the adsorbent can become hot enough to cause thermal burns of the skin; contact has to be avoided under these conditions.
    • Information to date indicates that the dust from the product is not toxic and does not cause fibrosis.
    • The Occupational Exposure Limit in Germany is 4 mg/m3 for total dust (MAK).

    Storage & Handling

    Storage Information
    • SYLOBEAD® SG W 127 Buffer Gel for Protecting Adsorbent Beds should be handled so as to avoid generation of dusty conditions at the workplace. When pouring into a container in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust, both containers should be electrically earthed.
    • Storage in a dry warehouse is recommended.
    • Extended exposure to UV light degrades the big bag material and this should be avoided.
    • Open packages should be resealed to prevent contamination and adsorption of water or other gasses and vapors.
    • The material in drums should be used within 4 years, the material in big bags within 6 months (from the date of production).
