Molecular sieve 3A is an alkali metal aluminosilicate, it is the potassium form of the type A crystal structure.
Molecular sieve 3A has an effective pore opening of about 3 angstroms (0.3nm). It adsorbs molecules with effective diameters smaller than approximately 3 angstroms.

Recommended Application:
- Cracked Gas drying
- Dehydration of refrigerant.
- Drying of highly polar compounds, such as methanol and ethanol.
- Drying of unsaturated hydrocarbons (e.g. ethylene, propylene, butadiene).
- Static, (non-regenerative) dehydration of insulating glass units, whether air filled or gas-filled.
- Drying of natural gas, if COS minimization is essential or a minimum co-adsorption of hydrocarbons is required.
Packing:
- 25 kg carton, and each carton has inner PE bag.
- 55 gallon air-tight iron drum, and each drum has inner PE bag.
- Other packing according to your requirement.
