The saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea), another eudicots species, also has hygroscopic seeds shown to imbibe up to 20% atmospheric moisture, by weight. [18] Functionally, the hilar valve allows water vapor to enter or exit to ensure viability, while blocking liquid water.
Under more "comfortable" conditions, it does not so it isn't considered deliquescent. So it is like relative hardness in minerals. One might consider two hygroscopic salts in a sealed chamber; the more hygroscopic one would dessicate the other. A comprehensive article would rank "deliquescent" substances by their critical humidity.--
The second largest application of calcium chloride exploits its hygroscopic nature and the tackiness of its hydrates; calcium chloride is highly hygroscopic and its hydration is an exothermic process. A concentrated solution keeps a liquid layer on the surface of dirt roads, which suppresses the formation of dust. It keeps the finer dust ...
Sodium Metasilicate reacts with acids to produce silica gel. [6] Cements and Binders - dehydrated sodium metasilicate forms cement or binding agent. Pulp and Par - sizing agent and buffer/stabilizing agent when mixed with hydrogen peroxide. Soaps and Detergents - as an emulsifying and suspension agent.
A 2021 study gave 90 men with male pattern baldness 5% minoxidil, 10% minoxidil or a placebo. The men took the treatment for 36 weeks. The men took the treatment for 36 weeks.
Respiratory virus season is officially here in the U.S., making it a prime time to catch a cold. And because the average adult gets two or three colds a year, you could be dealing with an ...
A decades-old cosmetic procedure called mesotherapy, which involves injecting unregulated mixtures of vitamins and drugs under the skin to reduce under-eye bags, is regaining popularity in the US.
[2] [3] This is the opposite use of a hygroscopic material where it is used as a desiccant used to draw moisture away. In pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, humectants can be used in topical dosage forms to increase the solubility of a chemical compound's active ingredients , increasing the active ingredients' ability to penetrate skin, or its ...
