Moisture adsorbing polymers

Brownell has developed a mouldable moisture adsorbing polymer, with the versatility to be injection moulded. This can be used as a practical alternative to conventional desiccant solutions for preventing condensation and corrosion within virtually any product or packaging. 

Moisture adsorbing polymers

Using a combination of polymers and adsorbent desiccants this newly developed range of materials offer new and improved opportunities for preventing the deleterious effects of moisture and high humidity including condensation and corrosion.

Many instruments and industrial enclosures are sensitive to high humidity and moisture which can lead to malfunction and low reliability performance. The frequent use of electronic systems and instruments in hostile environmental conditions leads to more exacting requirements. Typical applications include automobiles, industrial control, marine applications and high voltage switch gear requires protection from the effects of humidity and moisture for reliable operation.

VMAP can be moulded or machined subject to the application, which makes it ideal where complex shapes are needed to fit the available space. This versatility also makes it useful for low cost prototyping and high volume production quantities.
