Applies to: All types of machines requiring a moisture absorbent
Summary
This article describes the application schedule, expected effect, and comparisons of moisture characteristics of moisture absorbent.
Moisture Absorbent
Application Schedule
The new moisture absorbent is scheduled to apply starting in March.
Expected Effects
- Improvement of more than 3 times the product moisture absorption lifespan in comparison with the existing moisture absorbent.
- Available for a moisture absorbent replacement cycle extension for unsold inventory by virtue of moisture absorption lifespan extension while they are in storage.
Comparison of Moisture Absorbent Characteristic
| Classification | Existing Moisture Absorbent | New Moisture Absorbent |
| Photo | ||
| Characteristic | It is made of natural clay mineral-bentonite (expansible mineral composed of silica and aluminum) It has a characteristic, in which absorbed moisture is emitted outside again through the drying process. It absorbs moisture about 20~30% of its weight, and emits about 50% of the amount of absorbed moisture again. | It exists in the form of granule through the composition of natural mineral-Bentonite and calcium chloride It minimizes the amount of moisture re-emission at the time of the drying process by solidifying moisture through the chemical reaction when absorbing moisture. It absorbs moisture up to 80~110% of its weight, and re-emission amount is low at the level of 20~30% of the moisture absorption amount. |
| Replacement deadline | Long-term inventory moisture absorbent for more than 6 months is in need of replacement | Long-term inventory moisture absorbent for more than 12 months is in need of replacement |
