Just discovered, as unlikely as that sounds.

Sounds like it's going to have both better properties and be less expensive than current desiccant materials. I'm posting in the hopes of cross-pollinating with someone who might want to investigate using it in a dive-related application. Photography or other gear preservation, or stuff that hasn't occurred to me. And because it's just cool.
