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.
