Zeolite Molecular Sieve 5A
Zeolite Molecular Sieve 5A is a highly effective desiccant and adsorbent belonging to the alkali aluminosilicate family. Its calcium form boasts a well-defined type A crystal structure with an effective pore opening of 5 angstroms (0.5 nm). This precise selectivity allows it to selectively adsorb molecules with smaller kinetic diameters, making it ideal for applications requiring exceptional water, CO2, and H2S removal.
