The present invention relates generally to moisture vapour transmission modulators and/or humidity control materials, and more particularly but not necessarily exclusively, to compositions for decreasing the moisture vapour transmission rate and/or humidity control and their method of use. In some forms, the composition of the invention may be applied to a material. Such materials may be used in packaging goods prone to spoilage such as food. Such materials may be used to reduce or prevent degradation of or damage to packaged electronics, pharmaceuticals, and dry products such as paper (for example, so as to prevent curl in copy paper). Such materials may be used to form packaging that may otherwise be weakened by the action of liquids such as water. Such materials may be used to protect other packaging components added to protect contents but are prone to degradation under high moisture environments by way of example repulpable and compostable materials are subject to loss of barrier performance under high humidity conditions.
