What is “Polymer Sorbent” ?

It is an unprecedented moisture absorbing and desorbing material which consists of organic polymer. Its characteristic mechanism “sorption” provides extremely high performance of moisture absorption-desorption. It does not has deliquescence property and can be used repeatedly.

Polymer Sorbent Graph
  • It has high hygroscopic performance over a wide relative humidity range from low humidity to high humidity.
  • Its adsorption/desorption isotherm changes linearly over relative humidity.
  • Its hygroscopic capacity is two to three times as high as the capacity of silica gel. It has superior performance especially in high relative humidity range.
  • Compared with conventional hygroscopic materials, Polymer Sorbent is possible to regenerate at low temperature and it is possible to utilize low-temperature waste heat for regeneration source.

    1. Moisture permeable sheet , Total heat exchange element

    A moisture permeable sheet using Polymer Sorbent has high moisture permeability while suppressing the passage of air. Its excellent moisture permeability delivers the high performance for total enthalpy heat exchange system
