Artifex Equipment, Inc is conducting a survey of humidification methods and the applicability of Zorbix in those projects. Zorbix sheets are thin, reusable sheets that absorb up to 50 times their weight in water. Once water is absorbed into a sheet of Zorbix, the water can only be released as vapor–even under pressure. Zorbix can be placed directly on materials with no need for a vapor barrier such as Gore-Tex.
Zorbix can be dampened all over and the sheet does not wick sideways, allowing the practitioner to apply water to a specific zone for humidification in one area such as a creased corner. With the rest of the Zorbix sheet dry, this creates an effective method for controlling humidification to one spot.
Volunteers will be given free samples of 10 inch x 12 inch Zorbix sheets to test in their humidification projects and will be asked to describe their current humidification methods, test Zorbix as a replacement material, compare their results and provide feedback to Artifex Equipment, Inc. on their experience. (feedback is requested by September 1, 2011)
