The incorporation of waxes into thermoplastic adsorbent compositions enables the formation of high adsorbent loading compositions which have suitable flowability properties. The wax-containing thermoplastic adsorbent compositions are especially useful as thermoplastic adsorbent adhesives for use in desiccating interior compartments of insulating glass units.
