Abstract:
1. An article of manufacture constructed from a resin bonded sorbent composition, wherein said resin bonded sorbent composition is made according to a method of selecting the resin bonded sorbent composition which may be used at least for in part making an enclosure to protect contents from external humidity, wherein said enclosure has an internal headspace volume V, a thickness L and a surface area A, said enclosure surrounded by an environment having an external relative humidity h out which is a fraction of a saturated water vapor density ρ sat at a temperature T, said internal volume having a maximum internal relative humidity, said method comprising the steps of: a) selecting a plurality of resins, a plurality of particulate sorbents and a plurality of ratios therebetween to form a plurality of composites, wherein each resin of said plurality of resins has an effective water vapor diffusivity D b) calculating a plurality of failure times for said plurality of composites, wherein each failure time of said plurality of failure times is based on when an internal relative humidity h c) determining which of said plurality of failure times is greater; and, d) selecting one composite of said plurality of composites based on the result of step (c).
