How are the Puck-ifier & RH Beads different from existing products on the market, like “humidification gels”, “crystal humidifiers” and tubes with crystals?
Unlike the Puck-ifier & RH Beads, existing products on the market, like “humidification gels” and tubes are filled with absorbent polymer crystals, that are merely impregnated with propylene glycol (PG). This solution will help emit water vapor, often times too much humidity but will not absorb excess water vapor to reduce levels of relative humidity. Also, because these products are impregnated with PG, as the user adds distilled water to reactivate the product, the PG is eventually washed away entirely…rendering the product useless. These products have a finite lifespan and need to be replaced over time. Puck-ifier & RH Beads will last a LIFETIME. The Puck-ifier & RH Beads has been scientifically engineered to BOTH absorb and release water vapor to precisely regulate relative humidity levels in a closed container. This same technology is utilized by both the Smithsonian Institute and the National Archives to protect our nation’s most treasured documents. The existing products also
