Document: WSI‑ENG‑12003
Product name: Drykeeper
Product features
- A rubber sheet blended with a reversible, water‑absorbing polymer that captures moisture at high humidity and releases it when humidity drops.
- Because the polymer regenerates its absorption capacity automatically, the product operates without maintenance.
- Compared to silica gel, it offers significantly higher moisture absorption while maintaining a long service life.
Main applications
- Prevention of condensation inside enclosed spaces such as control panels.
- Reduction of fogging caused by condensation inside surveillance cameras.
Physical information
- Physical state: Solid, flexible sheet
- Colour: Grey
- Shape: Sheet
- Moisture absorption capacity:
- Mini (15 × 15 × 3 mm): 0.12 g
- Business Card (50 × 100 × 3 mm): 2.6 g
- A5 (105 × 300 × 3 mm): 16 g
- A5 (210 × 300 × 3 mm): 32 g

Precautions for use
- Avoid placing objects directly on the moisture‑absorbing surface or obstructing it.
- Do not use the product in locations exposed to direct water or dripping water.
- Some elution of the internal water‑absorbing polymer may occur.
- Not for consumption; keep out of reach of children.
- Follow all precautions listed in this TDS.
