TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
mSORB RG™ refrigerant desiccants are specifically formulated to be used as desiccants for stationary and mobile air conditioning and refrigeration systems in the commercial, automotive, and appliance industries.
CHEMICAL FORMULA
Ca4,5 [(Al02)12(SiO2)12] · nH2O
REFRIGERATION COMPATABILITY
This information can be used to determine the recommended desiccant for a refrigerant blend. The desiccant of choice will be that which is compatible with all components of the blend.

1mSorb RG-9 can be used to dry HFC-32, although it does adsorb HFC-32 concurrently.
2The us of mSorb RG-9 with HFC-152a should be carefully evaluated; however, we believe that there is not a great risk of incompatibility.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION
mSORB RG™ molecular sieves are formulated to be compatible with the refrigerants and lubricants that they are intended to operate with and will prevent chemical reactions that could produce system failures.
HANDLING & STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
Store refrigerant desiccant in a dry location to prevent premature water adsorption. Reseal packages after opening to prevent contamination and unintended water adsorption. We recommend that you rotate stock so oldest material is used first.
HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
Health and Safety Information is available on our product MSDS.
