Product Overview

Carbon Chemistry Silica Gel 60A is a high-purity, porous silicon dioxide filtration and chromatography media designed for adsorption, separation, purification, and color-remediation applications. With a 60 Å pore radius and fine 200–400 mesh particle size, the media provides a large surface area for effective interaction with polar compounds and unwanted impurities.

Its fine powdered structure makes it suitable for slurry preparation and use as a stationary phase in column chromatography and compatible color-remediation filtration systems.

Pore radius: 60A

Pore volume: 0.5-0.7 m/g

Surface area: 450-60 /g

Bulk density: 500-600 g/l


Key Features

  • High Surface Area — Provides approximately 450–600 m²/g of surface area for efficient adsorption and separation.
  • Fine 200–400 Mesh Media — Fine particle sizing provides extensive media contact and is optimized for chromatography and purification applications. The published micron size is approximately 20–50 μm.
  • 60 Å Pore Structure — Controlled 60 Å pore radius and approximately 0.5–0.7 mL/g pore volume support adsorption and compound separation.

Common Applications

COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHY

Used as a stationary-phase adsorbent to separate compound fractions during chromatographic processing.

COLOR REMEDIATION

Used in compatible color-remediation columns to adsorb polar impurities and unwanted color compounds.

PURIFICATION & FILTRATION

Suitable for processes requiring adsorption of unwanted polar materials and fine particulate filtration.

Handling & Storage

Keep the silica gel tightly sealed in its original container when not in use and protect it from moisture and contamination. Handle the fine powder carefully to minimize airborne dust. When preparing a chromatography slurry, add and distribute the media according to the applicable process SOP and equipment manufacturer's instructions. Keep containers closed during storage and maintain the material in a clean, dry storage area. Because silica gel is an adsorbent, unnecessary exposure to ambient moisture can reduce its effective adsorption capacity.

Safety Notes

Silica Gel 60A is a fine particulate solid, so appropriate dust-control practices and personal protective equipment should be used during transfer, measuring, mixing, and column loading. Avoid breathing airborne dust and prevent unnecessary eye and skin contact. Use adequate ventilation and consult the current Carbon Chemistry Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before handling. Follow facility-specific procedures and applicable regulations for handling, processing, cleanup, and disposal. The product is insoluble in water.
