Sukh Orange Silica Desiccant Beads 430G - Indicating Silica Gel Beads Drying Silicone Reusable Desiccant Dehumidifier for Camera,Electronic,Books,Documents,Clothes,Painting,Jewelry

I keep the Sukh Blue silica desiccant 430 g bag for small humidity pockets in my grow area and musty storage spots. I split part of the bag into breathable pouches and place them near pumps, controllers, and nutrient jugs so condensation and stale smells never get a foothold. The indicating beads change from blue to purple‑pink when saturated, so I swap or recharge a pouch as soon as the color shift appears. * The beads work faster than the tiny throwaway packets you get with gear and give a clear visual signal when they need attention. * I divide the 430 g into several organza or mesh bags so I can move them around and target trouble spots without dealing with one giant clump. * You can regenerate them in a low oven, dehydrator, or microwave. For microwave regeneration I spread the beads in a microwave‑safe dish on a single layer, heat in short intervals at medium power, and let them cool between bursts until the color returns toward blue. That method is fast and convenient but requires care to avoid overheating. * Regeneration restores most of the color and capacity, so I reuse packs instead of throwing them out. * They don’t shed dust if kept in a breathable pouch, and I haven’t seen residue on nearby gear. * I keep a small pouch near electronics and another by the nutrient storage to prevent damp smells and corrosion around fittings. * The blue to purple‑pink color shift removes guesswork — I recharge or swap as soon as the beads hit that color rather than waiting for visible condensation. * Handle like any desiccant: do not ingest, keep away from pets and children, and avoid direct contact with nutrient solutions. * For broad-room humidity control these won’t replace a dehumidifier, but for targeted spots and storage they’re cheap, effective, and low effort. * The 430 g size is useful because it’s big enough to split into several pouches while still being easy to store when not in use. Bottom line: solid, reusable indicating beads that make localized humidity control in my grow and storage areas effortless. Microwave regeneration makes quick turnarounds easy; just use short bursts at medium power, spread beads thin, and let them cool fully before handling.

Useful for removing humidity on my 3d printing filament. Easy to remove moisture, just oven or microwave it. I recommend oven at low temp like 200F for an hour. Microwave can be harsh on it and cause them to break. Mine lost their color changing over time, probably due to my abuse on them

There's a reason why the price is lower than others. The quality is horrible. I used it in my AMS Unit for the Bambu printer. It does work but becomes saturated within 2 days. And I live in a dry area so there is no reason for it to become saturated so quickly. Gave this item a second chance to perform and I've changed my mind on it from 1 star to 5. I tossed out the first batch use in the AMS unit and put in a second batch. It has performed flawlessly and the RH has stayed under 20% for a least a week. I was hoping it would last longer. When the RH got to 25%, I took it out, put it in the microwave on defrost for 9 minutes, put it back into the AMS and within 30 minutes the RH was back down 16%.

Yes. A great product. Does exactly what I need it to do.

Beads work great. Brought the moisture in my bambu AMS down to 8%. My only gripe is the packaging. It’s not a zip lock. Once it’s opened, you can’t reseal it

Works perfectly

Works great in my 3D printers filament box. They do a good of drying and last a long time - that is, they seem to absorb quite a bit. The color change is quite clear. Recharging is easy, just warm them in the oven - but don't get carried away. It takes time.

Works well for drying plants, I have had no issue with moisture getting to my flower while in storage. I tossed a hanful of them into a tiny mesh bags and they're working great. Wouldn't use these in place of the paper packet dessicants for things you may ingest, as these do have a little bit of dust and fragments.

Brilliant for storing 3D printer filament, just add some mesh bags. Easy to regenerate in the microwave, although just watch out as it gets very hot. Clearly changes colour when moist, so no problems.

Seem to be working very well for what I needed them for. Brought the moisture level down. Will buy again when I need more

Initial absorption is good. Didn't test for recharging yet. Bought for Bambu AMS v1. It was enough to fill custom printed containers that are installed between spools, but not enough to also fill the original spots.

This is quite a large bag of silica gel balls. The silica balls work as designed by drawing some moisture out of the air and turning green when saturated. Popping them in the microwave for a few seconds and you can reuse the gels multiple times. Unlike the picture in the item listing the bag I contained was vacuum sealed, so had to be very careful opening or they would be all over the place. Also, I then needed someplace to store them so that they would be ready for use later without the need to microwave them first. They are very easy to use as you just need to place them in a container where you want to reduce moisture and then microwave them to restore their use when they turn green in colour. They seem to be of a decent quality, but then I have limited things to compare with having only ever got the small packets with electronics previously. Being able to re-use them does mean that you save money on having to buy desiccant packets for each use.

They work and change color
