One measure of desiccant efficiency is the ratio (or percentage) of water storable in the desiccant relative to the mass of desiccant. Another measure is the residual relative humidity of the air or other fluid being dried. For drying gases, a desiccant's performance can be precisely described by the dew point of the dried product.

Cobalt(II) chloride is an inorganic compound, a salt of cobalt and chlorine, with the formula CoCl 2.The compound forms several hydrates CoCl 2 ·n H 2 O, for n = 1, 2, 6, and 9. . Claims of the formation of tri- and tetrahydrates have not been confirmed
A vacuum desiccator (left) and desiccator (right). Silica gel with cobalt chloride indicator placed in the lower shelf is used as the desiccant.. A desiccator is a heavy glass or plastic container, now somewhat antiquated, used in practical chemistry for drying or keeping small amounts of materials very dry.
The desiccant, usually an otherwise-inert solid such as silica gel, fills the space under the platform. Colour changing silica may be used to indicate when it should be refreshed. Indication gels typically change from blue to pink (if the indicator is cobalt(II) chloride) as they absorb moisture but other colours may be used.
Anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride is blue, while the hexahydrate is magenta in colour. [1] Because the color change of cobalt(II) chloride in different hydrates, it can be used to manufacture color-changing silica gel. Anhydrous cobalt halides react with nitric oxide at 70~120 °C to generate [Co(NO) 2 X] 2 (X = Cl, Br or I).
Cobalt(III) chloride or cobaltic chloride is an unstable and elusive compound of cobalt and chlorine with formula CoCl 3. In this compound, the cobalt atoms have a formal charge of +3. [1] The compound has been reported to exist in the gas phase at high temperatures, in equilibrium with cobalt(II) chloride and chlorine gas.
