Humidifier (Humectant)

A humectant is a substance that is used to provide moisture. Humidifiers help retain moisture in a variety of foods and materials.

Humidifiers work on the principle of hygroscopicity - they attract water molecules from the environment. When the air becomes dry, humidifiers release the accumulated moisture, moistening the product or material.

The most common humidifiers:

  1. Glycerol
  2. Propylene glycol
  3. Urea
  4. Glucose
  5. Sorbitol

Humidifiers are widely used in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. They help keep foods fresh and soft and prevent creams, lotions and other products from drying out. Humidifiers are also used to regulate the humidity of dosage forms.



A humidifier is a substance that is used to humidify the air. It can be used in various fields such as agriculture, medicine, food processing, etc.

A humidifier can be made from various materials such as water, alcohol, glycerin and others. It can also be used to increase humidity in rooms where the air is dry.

When using a humidifier, you need to consider its effectiveness and safety. You should also ensure that the humidity level is not too high, as this can lead to mold and other problems.



A humectant or Humectant is a substance that helps humidify the air and increase the humidity in a room. It can be used both in domestic conditions and for industrial purposes.

Humidifiers come in different types:

  1. Steam humidifiers: These work using steam, which is produced when water is heated. The steam rises and humidifies the air in the room.
  2. Ultrasonic humidifiers: These devices use ultrasonic waves to create microdroplets of water, which are then sprayed into the air.
  3. Electric humidifiers: These devices use electric heating elements to heat water and create steam.
  4. Halogen humidifiers: These devices use a halogen lamp to evaporate water.

The choice of humidifier depends on many factors, such as room area, humidity level, type of room (residential, industrial), etc. In any case, the humidifier must be installed correctly and maintained regularly to ensure optimal humidity levels in the room.
