Answer: Yes. The incredible absorption power of the FridgeBuddy's® active mineral has many applications and uses, including: tackle boxes, florists' reach-in coolers, campers, boats and RVs, gym bags, shoes, and many other areas where moisture and odors are a problem.

Most moisture problems in houses are due to moisture entry from air leakage. Because spray polyurethane foam provides such an excellent air barrier, this source of moisture is virtually eliminated. Other potential sources of moisture can be excluded with proper construction techniques and materials. Unusual building use (such as freezers or swimming pool buildings) may require a vapor retarder. Contact us regarding your specific situation if you have any questions.

Yes. Because Edeck® uses rice hulls instead of wood fiber, it won’t absorb moisture like wood based products. This means Edeck® swells significantly less than other composites. However, it is advisable to install the deck surface at least 12” above the ground to allow for proper air circulation.

Yes. In the case of PB, as compared to wood products, priming is not a protection against moisture intrusion. However, PB does not have grain and therefore does not have the beam strength that comes with grain. This means it can be pulled in the direction of the drying paint. All paints shrink as they dry which causes tension across the surface of the sign. The higher quality of paint the more strength this shrinkage has.

This is a matter of personal taste and preference. I tend to like my tobaccos a little on the dry side, with about 11-12% moisture content, but others like their tobaccos much wetter. Tobacco is packaged in order to assure optimal keeping and aging qualities. The moisture content in the tin can be anywhere from 12-18% for natural tobaccos, and as high as 28-40% for some very heavily cased aromatics. This may not be optimal for smoking.

Moisture includes water, organics, flavorings and other substances that are released by heat when following the standard method for moisture analysis.

All Carpeted BedSlides (Standard, RL or XL) use a 3/4"" CDX plywood overlaid with an indoor/outdoor synthetic carpet. On the WEATHERDECK and Contractor Grades we use a 3/4" Marine-grade 7-ply plywood that has a vapor-barrier lamination both top and bottom and then overlaid with a 1/4" rubber mat.

All our disposable incontinence pads contain "super absorbents" which absorb urine and lock it inside so you are kept dry. It is the amount of super absorbent contained within a product that determines how much it can absorb, not the product's physical size.

It is impossible to claim the percentage of absorption or bioavailability for our products because absorption or bioavailability differs with every individual and with every nutrient. Determinants of absorption and bioavailability include age, medications used, daily diet, genetics, intestinal environment, and nutritional status. However, we carefully select all of our ingredients to provide maximum bioavailability based on the most recent research.

An all natural fiber called chitin (KITE'in) with the unique ability to attract and bind fat, especially saturated animal fat. It absorbs fat like a sponge, holds it, and binds it so it passes through your digestive system and is excreted. Chitin is a safe, functional food that helps the body naturally heal itself. Chitin is found in shells of crab, lobster, and shrimp so it has been around for centuries, but it wasn't until the 1800's that a French professor discovered this polysaccharide.

Small or medium cracks in decking woods are known as checking, and appear as the wood begins to dry out. There are many great products out there – knotty cedar, red cedar, clear cedar, redwood, mahogany, ipe, pressure-treated pine...

Vinyl Decking is a Hi-Polymer material manufactured from a special high-impact, weather-resistant polyvinyl chloride compound. It is specially formulated for outdoor exposure where color and physical properties are important.

Premier Composite Decking is made of wood flour and high density polyethylene combined with pigment for color, an anti-fungal/anti mildew agent and an anti-parasite agent. In addition, because it is manufactured using Strandex technology, Premier decking has five important features. First, it is one of the strongest deckboards on the market. The Strandex technology results in "strands" of wood flour exiting from the extruder like "strands" of spaghetti.

The TDA publishes a Manual for professional designers and installers which covers everything to do with deck construction including species selection, span tables and strength classifications. The Manual sets the standard for best practice deck design and installation and can be purchased from the TDA Secretary's office for ?32.00 including postage. To request an order form click here. Some of the TDA's own members publish guides, CD's or videos about deck construction.

The solid top of the 3M 3400 Safety-Walk Cushion Mat will not absorb liquids, so spills and body fluids are wiped up easily

Each Thermophore unit has a specially woven fleece blend cover. During storage, this cover traps moisture from the atmosphere in the air spaces between the textile strands. When the special safety switch is activated, the Thermophore pack becomes intensely hot very quickly. Through a hygroscopic action, the moisture moves away from the source heat to the cooler body tissue.

We own and use an Electrophysics GRP 33 Marine Moisture meter. We probably will not use it on the bottom of the boat during a standard pre-purchase survey (unless it is a dry-stored boat). They are useful to assess moisture intrusion into cored decks, or in wood cored transoms or stringers. Most people, including many surveyors, do not understand the workings of moisture meters or the constraints necessary to achieve a reliable reading on a boats hull.

This is partially a matter of personal taste and smoking style. Generally, a tobacco that is just pliable is ideal for best smoking. If it's too moist, it will be difficult to light, difficult to keep lit and will provide a dilute, "steamy" smoke. This is one of the most common causes of "tongue bite." If the tobacco is too dry, it will burn rapidly, and regulation of the ember can be difficult.

The moisture content of our logs is between 8% and 16%. Kiln dried lumber is graded to 19% maximum moisture content.
