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.
- 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
