Szárazpor

Szárazpor is a Hungarian term that translates to "dry powder" in English. It is a general term and can refer to a variety of powdered substances in a dry state. The specific context in which "szárazpor" is used determines its exact meaning.

In the field of construction, szárazpor often refers to dry mix mortars or plasters. These are pre-mixed building materials sold in powder form that require the addition of water on-site before application. Examples include tile adhesives, grouts, and exterior rendering compounds. The advantage of dry mixes is their long shelf life and the ability to mix only the required amount, reducing waste.

In the pharmaceutical industry, szárazpor can refer to powdered active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) or excipients that are used in the production of solid dosage forms such as tablets and capsules. It can also refer to dry powder inhalers (DPIs), which are medical devices used to deliver medication to the lungs in the form of a fine powder.
