The property of a material that causes it to absorb and retain moisture from the air As such, Hygroscopic compounds find only limited use in firework manufacture
Substances that have the ability to absorb water and therefore accelerate the condensation process
Basically attracting, absorbing and retaining atmospheric moisture Thermoplastics such as polyurethane, nylon, polycarbonate and ABS are some of the materials categorized as hygroscopic They will likely absorb moisture that has to be removed before the material can be processed into acceptable finished parts
Of or pertaining to, or indicated by, the hygroscope; not readily manifest to the senses, but capable of detection by the hygroscope; as, glass is often covered with a film of hygroscopic moisture
Describes a substance that has the property of readily absorbing moisture from the air Hygroscopic materials, such as silica gel and calcium chloride, are used as dessicants Thinly spread deposits of hygroscopic materials can absorb enough water to completely dissolve
Having the property to absorb water vapor from the surrounding atmosphere Most of the papers (except glassine, greaseproof or wet strength etc ) are hygroscopic in nature
