The function of Sorb-It® is like a tiny sponge with millions of microscopic pores. Under very low humidity condition, a small amount of water vapor will be adsorbed in the smallest pores. As humidity increases, the larger pores will begin to fill. For example, at 20% R.H.. and 75° F., Sorb-It® will adsorb about 12% of its weight in water. At 80% R.H.. and 75° F, it will adsorb 35% its weight in water. Unlike a sponge, however, Sorb-It® remains dry even at maximum capacity.
