Product Description

Perfect for the hobbyist or collector of stamps, magazines, comic books, autographs and other cellulose items. Prevents corrosion and contamination. Prepackaged sodium form of Zeolite.Commonly used in the packaging of electronic components, pharmaceuticals, dried foods and machine parts. Perfect for the hobbyist or collector of stamps, magazines, comic books, autographs and other cellulose items. Prevents corrosion and contamination. 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.
