This is the place to be. Now Offers Molecular Sieves Molecular sieves have a wide variety of uses in gas and chemical purification processes. We offer Types 3A, 4A, 5A, and 13X beads in a variety mesh sizes in the standard container sizes shown below. Custom packaging is also available.
Beads offer some distinct advantages over pellets that are offered by competitors.
Beads provide a greater surface area per cubic foot resulting in more efficient adsorption for equivalent-size beds. Beads are stronger than pellets, thus they maintain their size and shape for more efficient adsorption. Beads offer an equivalent pressure drop to pellets. This is the potassium form of the Type A Crystal structure, an alkali metal alumino-silicate. Type 3A is used for drying polar liquids, such as ethanol and methanol, and the dehydration of unsaturated hydrocarbons, such as acetylene, butadiene, and propylene.
