In Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), silica gel serves as the key stationary phase for separating and analyzing mixtures. Coated onto glass, aluminum, or plastic plates, it enables the separation of components based on their interaction with the stationary phase and adsorption characteristics.

Silica gel for TLC is available in various grades, with or without binders. Silica Gel G contains gypsum as a binder, ensuring firm adhesion to the plate, while Silica Gel H is a binder-free option. For improved visibility under UV light, fluorescent indicators are incorporated, such as in Silica Gel GF254 and Silica Gel HF254 grades.
