AOKTEC® Molecular Sieve (Zeolites) is the potassium form of the Type A crystal structure with a pore opening of approximately 3 Angstroms in diameter. The beads exhibit high mass transfer efficiency, high crush strength and durability.
3A Molecular Sieve can be used as an industrial desiccant in chemical, pharmaceutical, oil refining and insulating glass, includes: dehydration of natural gas, ethanol, oil, jet fuel, benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylene, propylene, butadiene, and acetylene.
