🤍 got 50 sachets of silicagel and put it in a sealed container with a digital hygrometer
it started off at 38% and four hours later it's at 41%
i think silicagel is a lie
@whitequark this seems expected based on wikipedia and this datasheet: http://documents.staticcontrol.com/PDF/Desiccant_Plastic_KraftPaper.pdf

@leo @whitequark Care to elaborate? I expected the datasheet to give something like the equilibrium RH in presence of unbounded amount of silica as a function of temperature, but i can't find anything like that there.
@robryk @leo nvm i asked 🤍 and she gave me this pdf with a graph https://www.talasonline.com/images/PDF/ProductInformation/silica_gel_info.pdf
@robryk @whitequark oh, i was just talking abt the table and how it seemed like youd frequently need multiple packets for less than 40% humidity
