Molecular Sieves

Molecular sieves can be used when aggressive moisture adsorption in commercial or industrial applications is needed. These powerful desiccants can remove all traces of moisture from any environment provided that they are used in the correct amount. Electronic products and pharmaceutical products are two common uses for such a desiccant. Any moisture that could damage the circuits can be harmful to the circuits.

This desiccant bags has a high adsorption ability due to the intricate network of pores and empty spaces where moisture or vapours can be absorbed. Angstroms is a measurement of the pore size of this desiccant. There are many versions of molecule sieves, including 3X, 4X and 5X as well as 10X and 10X. Higher numbers indicate better adsorption abilities. This desiccant's chemical name is Synthetic Sodium Potassium (or Calcium Aluminosilicate).

This particular desiccant has many desirable characteristics that make it a great choice for demanding applications. These are some of the characteristics of this desiccant.

This desiccant has a melting point slightly lower than 2900 degrees Fahrenheit.

It has an odorless desiccant, which allows it to be used with both food and pharmaceutical products.

It also demonstrates a negligible explosion and fire hazard, making the product safe for use in high-temperature applications.

This material is also chemically stable, so it will not react with other substances.

The desiccant is not known to pose a health risk to workers who use it. It has not been listed as a carcinogen by OSHA, NTP, or IARC.

It is important to use gloves and masks when handling this material as contact with the eyes or skin could cause irritation. You should handle it in an area with adequate ventilation.

These points make molecular sieves one of the easiest to use desiccants. They are however, more costly due to their aggressive adsorption capabilities. These desiccants are usually sold as opaque tan beads or beige beads. These desiccant packets are suitable for use with other products if they are packaged in the right materials.

Many companies are involved in ongoing research on newer uses of this desiccant. They can also be used to control moisture for extended periods of time, as molecular sieves can absorb up to 20%. Some studies show that these desiccants can actually be used to reduce relative humidity levels to as low 10%
