Band-IT will help you to find a cost-effective, tested solution that exceeds your performance requirements and helps cut costs. Pre-cut Band-IT clamps reduce hand injuries at QTEQ. QTEQ's aim of decreasing hand injuries started with gloves but concluded with an easy solution.

Band-IT can make solutions for all the specific applications. When QTEQ launched a program to decrease hand injuries they started with the obvious: Gloves. With several injuries occurring due to punctured gloves, they concentrated on improvements to their line of personal protective equipment (PPE). They tested a variety of brands and models of gloves but found that regardless of the gloves they tried, they were being worn through quickly which increased costs, waste, and risk of injury.

What if the gloves aren't the problem?

Band-IT clamps and all other products are popular with the application. The gloves were developing tears that are tested by QTEQ and they realized, their investigation changed focus to seem at the materials being handled by the gloves. They quickly realized that some staff was wearing gloves faster than others.

The focus turned to the banding product. QTEQ was using 100-foot coils of Sign fix 201 stainless steel which they would cut to size with pneumatic jaws. When they examined the cut band, they noticed the jaws left extremely sharp points and edges that might easily tear and rip gloves, clothes, and skin. When installing 1000's of bands each week, QTEQ realized that injuries weren't an issue of "if", but "when". The solution from Band-IT.

Switch to pre-cut bands

QTEQ approached BAND-IT for the better way to the sharp edges that were the results of cutting roll band to length. The solution? Switching to pre-cut BAND-IT Clamps with seals since the pre-cut bands had a smoother finished edge than the bands cut to length on-site. While the bands were more expensive to purchase, the benefits were immediate.

 

Silica Gel Packets

Most of us are familiar with the silica gel. It is a good moisture absorber. Everybody knows that silica gel is not supposed to eat. But have you ever thought about the benefits and uses of silica gel? You have probably gotten dozens of silica gel packets along with different products such as Laptops, Shoes, Tablets...etc.

Silica Gel Packets

You will get wondered once you are aware of the benefits of the best moisture absorber silica gel while you are using it with your daily needs.

I learned that there are actually many different ways to put silica gel to good use.

Here I would like to share some of the useful information about silica gel moisture absorber packets in our daily life. But before starting it, I would like to talk about what is silica gel for the people who don't know anything about it. And why they are included with certain products while we are purchasing.

What is silica gel packets?

Silica gel is really useful because it is a desiccant, which means this silica gel is able to absorb and hold moisture from the surroundings. Silica gel packets are available on every market with less price on different qualities.

Therefore silica gel is a cost-effective way to absorb excess moisture for companies to protect their products from spoilage. Silica gel is normally available in 3 different colors such as Non-indicating or white silica gel, blue silica gel, and orange silica gel.

Silica gel is an inactive agent with all other substances. It will not work with anything. Therefore it can be used directly with edible products within a closed packet. There will be no problem while eating it, however, for better safety, it will be mentioned as "Do Not Eat" above the packet.

Silica Gel Desiccants

Silica Gel can be used for various purposes. Silica gel is a good desiccant. Definitely, you must have seen the tiny silica gel packets along with the boxes of gadgets, shoe boxes and many other objects for daily use.

Silica Gel is not used for consumption but it is used as a good moisture absorber. However, we can safely use silica gel in food containers to keep our things fresh for long days. There should be a warning on the top of the silica gel packets, that have been given to the consumers not to consume silica gel in order to stave off from health issues in the long run. 

Silica Gel

Although silica gel desiccant is unsafe to eat, still the manufacturer of silica gel recommend customers to not ingest it. Before using silica gel, you should always read a note provided to all the readers, notifying that silica gel is safe and highly effectual to keep food items fresh.

Silica gel can be used to protect special food items such as dried fruits or herbs, spice drawers, Brown sugar that generally tend to clump up along with potatoes, onions and sprouted vegetables are apt to keep the food-related items fresh for many days.

The appropriate method to store food for a lengthy period of time is to use a multi-barrier system. This system safeguards food from natural elements. Silica Gel when doped is traced in a moisture indicator that changes its color from the anhydrous state to a hydrated state.

Silica gel Desiccants are available in different colors such as White, Orange, and Blue. Common indicators are cobalt chloride and methyl. Orange color silica gel also has beads that are used especially in the drying process, foodstuffs, electric appliances, industrial gases and so on. One can use this gel by combining it with other silica gel or you can use the gel independently.

 

What is Silica Gel?

In the field of exporting the items which are more vulnerable to a small increase in humidity, it is important to have a component that is capable of absorbing moisture and water from the surroundings. Silica Gel is such a component, made from soluble glass and acts as a desiccant or drier.

Silica Gel Desiccant

As a drying agent, silica gel is using all over the world. Because of its common availability and cheap price, it is one of the best methods to keep things dry. The surface area of the silica gel desiccant is 700-800 square meters per gram with a microscopic pore size of 2.4 nanometers. It plays a main role in controlling humidity because it can absorb water molecules from the surroundings.

Due to the ability to soak up and Un-absorb the moisture, silica gel has an infinite life. Therefore it can be reconditioned and reused. Silica Gel is inactive to most of the other substances and has no volatile components. Therefore, it is 99% safe to use with other things. It will not react with anything.

Preservation in compressed gas systems is attained only through silica gel desiccant. Silica Gel can convert from anhydrous state to a hydrous state. Silica gel contains moisture indicators such as Methyl violet & Cobalt Chloride. Because of the presence of such indicators, Silica Gel Desiccant can see in different colors like orange and blue.

Silica Gel is available in both the bead form, as well as crystal form. Normally, Silica Gel is a colorless material. It is odorless and sometimes interchangeable with silica xerogel that forms a granular shape. To attain the Silica Gel bead form, this granular form is purified and processed.

Chemical indicators are impregnated in silica gel to indicate the absorption of moisture visually. So colored forms of Silica Gel beads are available depends on the moisture absorption capacity of it. As a good desiccant, silica gel is the most favorite product all over the world.
