Flower Drying Agent For Flower Drying

Rundun New Materials flower drying crystals are made from very fine (0.3 - 0.85 mm) white non-indicating silica gel and blue or orange indicating silica gel beads. The fine crystals minimize bruising and help maintain the flower's original shape during the drying process.

The blue indicator silica will turn light pink and the orange indicator silica will turn green when the beads have reached their full adsorption capacity. This allows users to easily identify when the flower drying crystals need to be reactivated.

As a rough guide, six partially opened roses require approximately 2.5kg of flower drying crystals.

Features of Flower Drying Desiccant

• Fine mesh crystals - ideal for delicate petals
• Indicator beads show saturation level clearly
• Food-grade and safe to touch
• Odorless, non-toxic, non-corrosive
• Remains dry to the touch even when saturated
• Reusable after reactivation
• Works faster and more evenly than traditional drying methods
• ISO and SGS Certified Manufacturing

Reactivation Instructions:

When the indicator beads change color (orange → green or blue → pink), the crystals can be reactivated:

Oven Method:

1. Spread used crystals on a flat tray.
2. Heat in an oven at 115-125°C (240-260°F) for 2-3 hours, or until the indicator beads return to their original color.
3. Let crystals cool, then store in a sealed container for reuse.

Microwave Method (for small batches):

1. Place the silica gel in a microwave-safe container.
2. Use medium to high heat. Heat in intervals of 5 minutes, stirring between intervals.
3. Continue until the beads return to their original color (orange or blue).

Caution: Monitor carefully to prevent overheating.
