3-5mm beaded blue indicating silica gel for Brownell's R series transformer breathers. Available in 3 sizes to fill the R, R1 and R2.

Blue indicating silica gel is ideal in applications where visual control of moisture is required. The silica gel will turn from blue to pink as it adsorbs moisture, indicating the need for replacement. Silica gel works by adsorbing and trapping moisture from the air, thus preventing condensation.
