type: MANNER
value: after drying
type: TEMPORAL
Source sentences:
text: A problem with such ultra-finely ground calcium carbonates is that, after drying, and coating with a hydrophobic agent which renders the surfaces of the particles hydrophobic, they are apt to pick up moisture from their, surroundings ■ and to retain this moisture adsorbed to the surfaces of the particle and trapped within the hydrophobic coating.
