Notes
This type of Silica gel, is impregnated with an "organic indicator" which is rated as completely safe. When free from moisture, the particles are dark orange. As the particles take up moisture, they turn to Orange-Yellow and then to Green and this indicates saturation and now requires replacement or regeneration.
