What are the main differences between a Microsalt Salounge and saline cabins?

Saline cabins or saline rooms are filled with small droplets of salt water. The room humidity is therefore relatively high. Concentrations of salt aerosol are not measured inside saline cabins or saline rooms. Saline devices evaporate salt water droplets based on an interval defined.
Humid salt is effective for the skin but less for the airways because salty water droplets are very hydrophilic. This results in less deeper penetration into the respiratory system. Per definition, the inhalation of humid salt creates a certain amount of obstruction because the water droplets stick to the sides of the airways. This causes slight narrowing of the airways.
In order to create the same cleansing effects with humid salt compared with dry salt, a lot more salt needs to be used. This because salt loses its characteristics above a relative humidity of 40%. Dry Salt Aerosol only starts to give of its cleansing and disinfecting effects, once it is inhaled into an environment where a 100% RV is present.

Humid salt is very aggressive to its environment. This often creates great challenges for architects and building companies who are asked to create a saline room. Normal cement and other materials cannot be exposed directly to humid salt as this create damage to it.
Dry Salt Aerosol is not aggressive as long as the RV is below 40%. Microsalt Salounges are always below this %.
