3A, 4A & 5A Molecular Sieves

Molecular Sieve 3A

3A molecular sieve is a potassium-form A-type zeolite adsorbent with an effective pore opening of approximately 3 angstroms. It adsorbs water and other small polar molecules while excluding most hydrocarbons, which makes it a standard choice for deep drying of gases and liquids.

Applications
  • Drying of cracked gas and olefins such as ethylene, propylene and butadiene
  • Drying of polar liquids such as methanol and ethanol
  • Refrigerant drying
  • Moisture removal in insulated glass units
Product Selection For product selection, provide the stream to be dried, inlet moisture content, operating pressure and temperature, flow rate, target dew point or outlet moisture specification, and required loading quantity.

Molecular Sieve 5A

5A molecular sieve is a calcium-form A-type zeolite adsorbent with an effective pore opening of approximately 5 angstroms. It adsorbs normal (straight-chain) paraffins and small polar molecules, and is used in separation and purification duties where selective adsorption is required.
