Results for tag: "Hygroscopic Building Material"

Hygroscopic building materials are materials that absorb and release moisture in response to changes in relative humidity. These materials are used in the construction of buildings to regulate the indoor climate and improve air quality. They are also used to reduce energy consumption by controlling the amount of heat and moisture that enters and leaves the building. Hygroscopic building materials are typically made from natural materials such as wood, clay, and stone, or from synthetic materials such as polymers and composites. The hygroscopic building material market is growing due to increasing demand for energy-efficient and sustainable building materials. The market is driven by the need to reduce energy consumption and improve indoor air quality. Additionally, the increasing awareness of the importance of sustainable building materials is driving the growth of the market. Some companies in the hygroscopic building material market include BASF, Dow, Owens Corning, Saint-Gobain, and Knauf Insulation. Show Less Read more
