Moisture Problems

One of the problems that has plagued manufacturers, distributors, consumers, and shippers of almost any product is the harmful results of excessive moisture and condensation. This can cause corrosion, mold, mildew, odors, and numerous other problems. The latter can result in damaged goods, lost revenues, and poor reputation.

The Solution

The The MoistureSorb® Moisture Absorbent Granules and Powder were specially developed to protect products by adsorbing moisture during manufacturing, storage, and shipping (by truck, railroad, and ship). MoistureSorb® is particularly effective in controlling moisture levels in low humidity ranges where other desiccants such as silica and alumina gels are less effective. This product will eliminate moisture and odors while preventing condensation, corrosion, mold, and mildew.

How MoistureSorb® Works

MoistureSorb® is very effective and efficient at adsorbing moisture and odors. MoistureSorb® is negatively charged whereas moisture and odoriferous gases ride on positively charged particles. As a result, MoistureSorb® draws in moisture like a strong magnet and traps it. The molecular structure of MoistureSorb® is made up of a lattice structure arranged to form a honeycomb framework of billions of interconnecting channels. This gives MoistureSorb® an enormous surface area that is larger than several football fields. The latter enables MoistureSorb® to adsorb phenomenal amounts of moisture and odors and work for months.

Environmentally Friendly

MoistureSorb® is recyclable, non-toxic, safe, non-hazardous, natural, non-scented, and non-caustic . It is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating moisture as well as odors without adding pollutants to the air. MoistureSorb® does not contain chemical additives and is beneficial for those suffering from chemical sensitivity.

Applications

MoistureSorb® can be used as a desiccant during manufacturing, storage, and in any other application requiring moisture removal. It can also be used during the distribution of products by ship, truck, and railroad to protect the cargo from moisture damage.

Directions

To use the MoistureSorb® granules, simply place the granules in a filter housing and recirculate the air or gases that require desiccation. The MoistureSorb® powder may be used by incorporating it in product formulations or by sprinkling it in areas requiring moisture reduction.

Rejuvenating, Reusing & Recycling

The MoistureSorb® Moisture & Odor Absorbent Granules and Powder may be reused repeatedly after periodically rejuvenating them. Rejuvenate the granules and powder weekly until a noticeable decrease in moisture and odor is detected. Thereafter, rejuvenate them every 3-4 months or when moisture and odor levels increase. To rejuvenate, simply heat the pouches in a microwave 2-4 minutes, place in direct sunlight for a day or heat in an oven at 425° F (220° C) for about 3-5 hours and reuse.

The number of times MoistureSorb® can be rejuvenated and its actual life span will depend on the moisture and odor concentrations, temperature, humidity and velocity of air flow it is exposed to. Replace the pouches every 3-4 months or when rejuvenation eventually fails to work.

As a precaution, do not rejuvenate MoistureSorb® in a microwave or oven if they have been exposed to a hazardous or toxic substance. It is better to be safe and to rejuvenate the granules and powder outdoors in direct sunlight where is plenty ventilation.

Unused MoistureSorb® moisture and odor control media or used media that has not been exposed to hazardous substances can be recycled by removing this material from the pouch and applying to gardens, flower beds, yards, fields, potting soil and plant beds with thorough watering. It will act as a slow release fertilizer and help retain soil moisture.

Disposal

The unused MoistureSorb® Moisture Absorbent Granules and Powder is non-hazardous and environmentally safe. However, this may change if it is exposed to hazardous or toxic substances. Used MoistureSorb® should be disposed according to all relevant local, state, and federal regulations.
