a substance with strong hygroscopic properties, meaning it will soak up water vapor from the surrounding air
a substance with very hygroscopic (adsorbs moisture from the air) properties
A substance that induces drying by absorbing water.
Is a chemical that absorbs moisture from the air in order to protect parts in the environment from corrosion.
A chemical (natural or manufactured) that is applied to the foliage to dry down the crop. Often applied to facilitate mechanical harvest of field crops, or to top kill potatoes
Chemical that, when applied to a living plant, causes or accelerates drying of its aerial parts; used to facilitate burning of living vegetation by substantially lowering fuel moisture content within a few hours.
A drying agent. Engelhard desiccants are packed with electronic equipment and other products to protect them from moisture. Our newest desiccants are at the heart of air-conditioning systems that allow separate control of temperature and humidity.
Generally a pure molecular sieve- or silica gel-based product, the desiccant is placed within the cavity spacer bar of double-glazed units in order to dehydrate or to remove any residual moisture in the unit
a drying agent used in refrigeration systems to remove excess moisture (molecular sieve or similar substance).
An adsorption type material used in compressed air dryers. Industry standards are activated alumina, silica gel and molecular sieves. ( 010)
Drying agent or medium used in dehydration of air, gas or liquids. Example: Silica gel, activated alumina, molecular sieve etc.
An extremely porous crystalline substance used to absorb moisture from within the sealed air space of an insulating glass unit.
A drying substance or agent, the adsorption material within a desiccant dehumidifier.
dess-ih-KANT) A substance or compound which can dry something. Diatomaceous earth (DE) is one example. It cuts and dries insects.
Because of it's water absorbency, desiccant is used in insulating glass to prevent windows from fogging up.
Highly hygroscopic substance used to absorb moisture in bottles, vials and blisters.
A substance that absorbs water vapor from the environment in which it is placed.
A material having a large proportion of surface pores, capable of attracting and removing water vapor from the air.
An insecticide that kills insect pests by damaging their cuticle thus causing them to dehydrate, or a herbicide that promotes the drying of living plant tissues, such as unwanted plant tops.
A chemical causing drying
A substance, such as calcium oxide or silica gel, that has a high affinity for water and is used as a drying agent.
A drying agent that is used in accumulators and receiver driers to attract and remove moisture and ensure a dry system. You will also be familiar with desiccants when you purchase electronic equipment; they are the small packs of ‘salt like’ powder; they are used to assure a moisture free package.
A hygroscopic substance used as a drying agent in insulating glass units.
Any substance which exerts a drying action by chemically absorbing water vapor .
A chemical that promotes drying or loss of moisture.
A material used in insulating glass to absorb water vapor which causes fogging.
Is a substance which promotes the loss of water. Some products contain desiccants to improve pesticidial activity.
A drying agent or medium used in dehydration of air, gas and liquids. Examples silica gel, activated alumina, molecular sieve.
Any substance or mixture of substances used to accelerate the drying of plant tissue. Foliage often is killed by contact action and seed moisture is reduced.
Small, extremely porous beads used to absorb moisture in the sealed air spacer of an insulating unit.
Any absorbent or adsorbent, liquid or solid, that will remove water or water vapor from a material. In a refrigeration circuit, the desiccant should be insoluble in the refrigerant.
Substance which can be used for drying purposes because of its affinity for water.
A material used to absorb moisture from within the sealed airspace of an insulating glass unit.
Moisture absorbing material used inside the spacer in an insulated glass assembly, so as to control moisture levels and prevent moisture from frosting or condensing on the inside glass surfaces of the insulated unit.
A drying agent used in the refrigeration system to remove moisture. The moisture-absorbing zeolyte crystals are located in the accumulator-dryer or receiver-dryer depending on the type of system. R-134a systems generally require XH-7 or XH-9 desiccant.
[DES-uh-kant] A hygroscopic substance such as activated alumina, calcium chloride, silica gel, or zinc chloride that draws water vapor from the air. Desiccants are used to maintain a dry environment for equipment and materials.
An anhydrous(waterless) substance, usually a powder or gel, used to absorb water from other substances. Two commonly used types are calcium hydroxide or silica gel
A chemical agent that absorbs moisture; some desiccants are capable of drying out plants or insects, causing death.
A substance, such as silica gel, that removes moisture (water vapor) from the air to maintain a dry atmosphere in containers of food or chemical packaging.
A substance which has a great affinity for water which is used as a drying agent often used in refrigeration systems or containers in which the contents must be kept free of moisture.
A chemical agent that absorbs moisture; desiccants can be used to control certain insect pests or mildew, and also to dry foliage before harvest (as with potatoes). Desiccants are regulated as pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.
A material used to desiccate (dry) or dehumidify air.
