A desiccant is a hygroscopic material that serves to maintain a state of dryness. It is the opposite of a humectant which serves to promote moisture retention. Desiccants eliminate humidity from the air and create and sustain a moisture-free environment. Moist, damp environments can result in damage to electronics, apparel, cosmetics, medications and vitamins, along with a wide range of other products. Moisture creates an …

Absorption is when one substance joins with another substance. The substances change as they interact with one another. Adsorbing is when one substance sticks to the surface of another but they each remain the same. Each substance keeps its original character. Adsorption is the action that happens when using a desiccant. Desiccants remove moisture and slow down the processes …

Known as ‘adsorption’, taking in water and drying air are the main functions for this particular desiccant. When humidity molecules appear in the air, they can lead to corrosion in machinery as well as ice formations which, as you can imagine, can be dangerous and damaging. Therefore, it is important to remove these molecules so the machinery and equipment can …

Molecular Sieves are available in: 3A Molecular Sieve 3A means that the pore size measures as 3 angstrom. Anything larger than 3 angstrom won’t be able to be adsorbed. The order of adsorption rate is helium, neon, nitrogen and water. 3A EDG Molecular Sieve This Molecular Sieve was made with drying fuel grade ethanol in mind. Ethanol can only be …
