This should help keep filament fresh. 6 kg of fine silica sand. That’s about 13,2 pounds for my imperial friends. Now all I need is 1000 of those little packets that say do not eat. 
actually I’m just going to fill stockings with it and put it in the plastic containers I keep the filament in.
@Mark_Rehorst , that and incorrect conventions for units. Neither the post nor the label on the bag have a space between the value and the unit, and the bag has an upper case K when it should be in lower case.
I have just put a couple of kilos of silica gel granulate, aka kitty litter, at the bottom of a drum in which i store my Nylon etc.
@Justin_McGrath edited the post just for you. 
I’ll let their marketing department know, if they change it you can chalk up a personal victory.
Ha, thanks. I doubt their marketing department will understand or care. I think it is likely more important that the bag contains silica, not silicone. One draws moisture from the air, the other does not.
I did actually speak to them. Something about the local market has an understanding of what in the bag and that’s the name the ask for.
Well, you’ve got to sell to your market I guess.
If one uses what I’ve seen labeled as “indicating silica gel,” you have a bonus effect. The beads/pellets are blue when dry and turn pale when a refresh/dehydration is needed. Often used in air compressor water traps, it’s important to have dry air for many different reasons and the visual indicator makes it easy to know when to change the stuff.
@Mark_Rehorst
I’ve done that with the fabric bagged stuff and the bulk product I use in my compressor. I’ve also learned that it’s unwise to do so with the paper bagged product, as the paper becomes brittle and frequently opens up while being heated. It takes forever to clean the pellets from the oven while the spouse is wanting to make use of it for more conventional purposes!
Only heat it in an electric oven to dry it, not gas. The gas combustion process creates water, which when hot actually adds moisture to the silica gel.
Be careful, don’t breath the dust, it’s nasty stuff.
Your going to have to post you’re results to show other people what there doing wrong with they’re filament. Their is no place for water in our filaments.
Us 3D printers are real good with words and stuff
I dry my indicating silica in the microwave oven in a pyrex dish. It’s 800W and I run it full power for around 3 minutes then check to see if its hot enough, and run it some more if not. Then I leave it open till it cools, and by that stage it has changed back to the dry colour.
