The versatile moisture adsorbing polymer (VMAP) is a blend of molecular sieve (60%) and polymer (40%). Its composition enables shaping to fit complex spaces, making it suitable for diverse applications. The desiccant combines desiccant crystals and a polymer suspension, minimising the risk of fibre loss and desiccant dust contamination.
Controlled Adsorption for Extended Product Lifespan
VMAP is an alternative to desiccant bags, especially for applications that require a high level of cleanliness, such as electronics, sensors, semiconductors, medical devices, circuit boards, optics, shipping, and storage. The moisture absorber operating temperature ranges from -40ºC to 90ºC.
The drying agent offers easy fixation using screw fasteners, adhesives, or other mechanical retention methods. VMAP is a long-term solution with controlled adsorption properties that prolong its lifespan, reducing maintenance costs. This feature ensures extended protection of the product.
The desiccant’s ability to be moulded and machined makes it suitable for low and high manufacturing volumes and low-cost prototypes. Its customizability, controlled adsorption properties, and versatility make it a reliable and efficient desiccant solution for various industries.
