Hygroscope-P is Calcium Oxide in powder form, with a purity of 95 %. The function of Hygroscope-P is to absorb moisture and eliminate moisture related problems in plastics and rubber applications. It can be used as a desiccant in PE/PP masterbatches, rubber compounds and PVC plastisols. Calcium Oxide forms Calcium Hydroxide once it absorbs water. Applications for Calcium Oxide are listed as follows:
● Desiccant masterbatch production
● Filler masterbatch to extend the shelf life of the product and to absorb moisture in raw materials
● Plastics recycling
● Pressureless, continuous curing systems such as microwave, LCM, hot air and uid beds.
● Wastewater treatment
● Low pressure curing in the cable industry
● Construction chemicals where moisture must be eliminated
