Process and composition for minimizing accumulation of moisture on a cold surface exposed to humid conditions and product obtained thereby

摘要

The accumulation of moisture on a cold surface exposed to humid conditions which tend to cause condensation on said surface is minimized by applying a coating to the surface which contains unoccluded, water- absorptive particles in admixture with a resinous binder in an amount sufficient to bind the particles together in a adherent coating on the surface, but insufficient to occlude the water absorptivity of the particles. The particles comprise a mixture of cellulosic fibers and water-absorptive, inorganic particles having a bulk density less than 150 kgs/m.sup.3.
