Stops windscreen fog quickly – with 350g activated silica gel
Approximately 350g of environmentally friendly silica gel absorbs moisture from the surrounding air, with a rated uptake of up to 40% of its weight. The granules trap water vapour, reducing condensation on glass and nearby surfaces.
Faster clearing of windscreens and fewer morning demist sessions, improving visibility and safety. Suitable for use in cars, caravans and motorhomes where space is limited.
Easy recharge at home – thanks to microwaveable granules and colour indicator
Silica gel can be dried in a domestic microwave at 600W or less for no longer than 6 minutes. A heat-sensitive indicator changes between pink (hot) and blue (cold) to signal when recharging is needed.
Quick top-ups in minutes using a standard household microwave, removing the need for specialist equipment. The colour indicator removes guesswork, so recharging happens only when necessary.
Compact and portable – with a small footprint for in-car storage
Unit dimensions measure approximately H200 x W115 x D35mm, allowing placement in glove compartments, door bins or drawers. Lightweight construction keeps handling simple when transferring between vehicles.
