Fight dampness & humidity - Moisture Trap Damp Control (2 x 500g refills)

Product Information

The words water trap, moisture trap and moister filter can be used interchangeably when talking about airbrushing compressors, and for the rest of the article I’ll use the term ‘water trap’. Our dehumidifiers can absorb and trap water up to twice its weight, and our range of refill products allow you to reuse traps again and again. Nature will take it's course of seeking homeostasis, and your caravan environment will then draw moisture inside.

Ambient Air Moisture Trap x12 | Home Bargains

Whether we realise it or not our living and work environments act as massive moisture traps. Older buildings and external facing walls act like sponges and absorb moisture from the outside atmosphere, while modern buildings and leisure vehicles are air tight to comply with modern building regulations and mechanical design and build specifications meaning that moisture is trapped inside. Our dehumidifiers require no power and work by attracting and extracting the excess moisture in the air. Like iron filings to a magnet, the calcium chloride within our krystals and tabz readily attracts excess moisture in the air, bringing it out of suspension and causingPaint Fisheyes or Paint Dimples: these are small dimples in the paintwork caused by too much moisture in the paint; The only way to ensure you don’t experience fisheyes and associated paint problems is to spray when the ambient air isn’t as humid. Humidity Spotting: this can cause paint fisheyes if the ambient air you’re spraying in is extremely humid, as you might find in more tropical area or on an extremely wet and rainy day. The high humidity will certainly make the water trap have to work harder, but can also impact the quality of your paint job regardless of the water filter being present as the moisture simply settles into the paint directly from the air.

The moisture allowed through then condenses from vapour into small liquid water drops in the hose and ultimately mixes with the paint. Below is the Iwata DHCL Moisture Filter which uses a high quality five micron filter to remove unwanted moisture particles. It can be attached directly to the compressor or inline between two air hoses, and comes complete with PTFE tamp and various adaptors.The solution here is to ensure your compressor and associated parts are sufficiently cooled, or to simply stop airbrushing for a little while and allow a hot compressor to cool. On average a 4 person household releases 10 litres of water into the household atmosphere each day through cooking, washing, using tumble dryers and also breathing. This excess moisture can cause one or more of the issues listed above, however, our Damp Kontrol range of products are here to assist you in managing excess ambient moisture and mitigate unwanted issues. Having a water trap to stop moisture mixing with your paint will always be more beneficial over not having one, but if you only do a little casual airbrushing in an environment that’s not overly humid then you should be fine without one. You will typically need to spend more money to get an airbrushing compressor that has a water trap already installed on the tank, as these types of compressors generally come with many more features overall.
