Molecular Sieve 3a - Alkali Metal Aluminosilicate Bead 1.6-2.5mm Effective For Drying Highly Polar Compounds And Cracked Gas

Molecular Sieve 3A is an alkali metal aluminosilicate it is the potassium form of the type A crystal structure. Type 3A has an effective pore opening of about 3 angstroms (0.3nm). It adsorbs molecules with effective diameters smaller than approximately 3 angstroms. But excludes molecules such as unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Recommended Applicationi
1. Drying of unsaturated hydrocarbons (e.g. ethylene propylene butadiene)
2. Cracked Gas Drying.
3. Drying of natural gas if COS minimization is essential or a minimum co-adsorption of
hydrocarbons is required.
4. Drying of highly polar compounds such as methanol and ethanol.
5. Static (non-regenerative) dehydration of insulating glass units whether air filled or gas-filled.
