Molecular Sieve
Dries far below the level silica gel can reach
Silica gel is excellent between roughly 30% and 90% relative humidity. Below that it gives up its water reluctantly and its capacity collapses. Molecular sieve is the opposite: a crystalline zeolite with a uniform pore size that holds tightly at very low humidity, which is why it appears in insulating glass, refrigerant circuits and gas purification rather than in cartons.
Key features
- Types 3A, 4A, 5A and 13X
- Gas phase 4–8 mesh; liquid phase 8–12 mesh
- Powder forms available
- Uniform, selectable pore size
Why customers specify it
- Achieves dew points silica gel cannot
- Pore size can be chosen to exclude larger molecules
- Retains capacity at low relative humidity
