Cementitious fireproofing material can dry slowly. Common construction defects can result, including improper curing of fireproofing materials, potential for mold and mildew growth, excess moisture that slows drying of other materials and delays in the construction schedule. Desiccant dehumidification technology speeds drying times to eliminate those problems.
