The reason is the CaOH is very well fixed in the plastic matrix in the EAC...

How much does this plastic matrix inhibit the interaction between the gas and the sorb material ?

One would think that by having a plastic material surrounding the sorb, that would happen. Thus the reason why it takes a longer period of time for water to react with the sorb.

If it does inhibit the interaction, then should it be a less efficient ?
