| Salts are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb ambient humidity to keep the road surface moist and hold fine particles together. |
| On the other hand, SO 2 and chlorides have a corrosive action because water-soluble and hygroscopic salts are formed. |
| In dry soils, a thin film of hygroscopic water is retained around individual soil particles. |
| Choline chloride is hygroscopic, and when added to a vitamin premix it will generally hasten the rate of other vitamin destruction. |
| Fertilizers placed with the seed are hygroscopic and will draw moisture away from the seed. |
| Despite their hygroscopic nature, these materials are a favorite for high-sensitivity applications. |
