| Salts are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb ambient humidity to keep the road surface moist and hold fine particles together. |
| The gelatin encasing each egg is highly hygroscopic and thus quickly absorbs water. |
| Pyrophosphoric acid is colorless, odorless, hygroscopic and is soluble in water. |
| On the other hand, SO 2 and chlorides have a corrosive action because water-soluble and hygroscopic salts are formed. |
| Gases and non-aqueous liquids can be dehydrated by passing them over or through a hygroscopic substance, one that readily absorbs water. |
| Choline chloride is hygroscopic, and when added to a vitamin premix it will generally hasten the rate of other vitamin destruction. |
