Adsorptive member and apparatus using the same

Abstract

The present invention provides an adsorptive member which is used in a heat exchanger such as an adsorptive heat pump or a humidity control apparatus such as a desiccant system and which is excellent in heat resistance and adhesion between adsorptive particles and a base material. The adsorptive member comprising a base material and an adsorptive material layer formed on the base material, wherein the adsorptive material layer comprises adsorptive particles and a binder as essential components, and the binder is an epoxy cured product comprising the following structural units (a) and (b): (a): a bisphenol type structural unit; and (b): a linear hydrocarbon structural unit having 4 or more carbon atoms, and/or a polyalkylene ether structural unit having 3 or more ether oxygen atoms.
