We are formulating an exotic range of Molecular Sieve 4A which is an alkali aluminosilicate and is available in sodium form of the Molecular Sieve Type A. Also, it has an effective pore opening of about 4 angstroms (0.4 nm).
Chemical Formula:
Na20 Al203
2 Si02 n H20
Available type: Standard
4A Grade and also in powder form.
Shipping Information: Our range is available in powder form, pallets and beads and is duly packed in 50/100 Kg. steel drum with inner polyethylene bags.
Applications:
Used to dehydrate most fluids both static and dynamic drying
Dynamic applications (regenerative) include drying and purification of natural gas, LPG, air, inert gases and solvents, removal of carbon dioxide, ammonia and methanol from fluid streams
Static applications (non-regenerative) include usage in desiccant packages and for drying in insulating glass units
It will adsorb molecules with a kinetic diameter of less than 0.4 nm and exclude those larger
