aSORB™
ACTIVATED ALUMINA
aSORB™ activated alumina is a synthetically produced aluminum oxide in a smooth spherical form with a high crush strength. It is highly porous and can have a surface area greater than 300 m2/g. It is an excellent desiccant for liquids and gasses and can reduce the dew point of air to -40°C. aSORB™ activated alumina will adsorb all molecules but preferentially adsorbs the molecules with the highest polarity.
