Subject: Survey on Zorbix

Survey on Zorbix

From: Nicholas Yeager <nicholas.yeager<-a>

Artifex Equipment, Inc. <URL:http://www.artifexequipment.com> is
conducting a survey of humidification methods and the applicability
of Zorbix in those projects.  Zorbix sheets are thin, reusable
sheets that absorb up to 50 times their weight in water. Once water
is absorbed into a sheet of Zorbix, the water can only be released
as vapor--even under pressure.  Zorbix can be placed directly on
materials with no need for a vapor barrier such as Gore-Tex.

While Zorbix can be dampened all over, the superabsorbent chemistry
does not wick sideways, allowing the practitioner to apply water to
a specific zone for humidification in one area such as a creased
corner. With the rest of the Zorbix sheet dry, this creates an
effective method for controlling humidification to one spot.

Volunteers will be given free samples of 10 inch x 12 inch Zorbix
sheets to test in their humidification projects and will be asked to
describe their current humidification methods, test Zorbix as a
replacement material, compare their results and provide feedback to
Artifex Equipment, Inc. on their experience. Should you wish to
participate, we ask that we your feedback by September 1, 2011.

If you would like participate in the study and receive free samples
in exchange for your impressions of the product, please contact
