4A Molecular Sieve

Molecular sieve type 4A is an alkali aluminium silicate. This sodium form of Type- Crystal Structure has an effective pore opening of about 4 angstroms. The type 4A molecular sieve will adsorb most molecules with a kinetic diameter of fewer than 4 angstroms and exclude those larger. 4A can adsorb gas molecules like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and straight-chain hydrocarbon.

Sorbead India is the largest adsorbent and desiccant manufacturer, serving various industries like PET industries, yarn Industries, pharmaceutical industries, dyes & pigment industries, steel industries, and many others.

Molecular sieve 4A will be the ideal choice in drying instrumental air drying, naphtha drying, aromatic drying process, hydrocarbons drying process, noble gas drying, natural gas drying and removing of Co2. Drying of liquefied petroleum gas and liquefied natural gas 4A will be the ideal synthetic zeolite.

4A molecule is working on the principle of surface adsorption; it offers a higher surface area for attaining higher adsorption capacity, higher crushing strength of molecular sieve 4A offers low attrition rate and longer working life, for methane adsorption 4A is the best suitable option.
