Abstract:
A thermoplastic adsorbent composition comprising an adsorbent component dispersed in a thermoplastic organic matrix, said matrix containing a wax component and a thermoplastic resin component, said composition containing at least about 15 wt. % of said adsorbent component based on the total weight of the composition, said composition containing at least about 2 wt. % of said wax based on the combined weight of said wax and said thermoplastic resin, said wax having a weight average molecular weight of about 800-10,000, and said thermoplastic resin having a weight average molecular weight greater than 10,000 wherein said thermoplastic adsorbent composition is flowable at 124Â° C. and is capable of adsorbing water to an extent sufficient for desiccating void spaces of insulated glass units.
