5A Molecular Sieve is a calcium-based aluminosilicate adsorbent developed for moisture removal and selective adsorption of larger molecules from liquids and gases. With a pore size of 5 angstroms, it is capable of adsorbing molecules that are excluded by 3A and 4A, enabling effective separation and purification in hydrocarbon and gas processing applications.
It provides high adsorption capacity, strong mechanical strength, and excellent regeneration characteristics, making it suitable for demanding refinery and petrochemical environments. Supplied in 4×8 mesh, 5A Molecular Sieve delivers low pressure drop and robust performance in continuous-flow systems.
