How is 3A and 5A made from 4A Molecular Sieve? Molecular sieve starts out as powder. The powder is then combined with a binding material. This allows the powder to be rolled into beads. These beads are partially dried at 600-700 degrees F, which turns them into a ceramic. In addition, all molecular sieve starts […]

Adsorbent Product Highlight: 13X Molecular Sieve 13X molecular sieve is of the type X crystal, as opposed to the type A crystal of the 3A, 4A, and 5A molecular sieves. The 13X crystal can be seen in the picture above. However, the 13X molecular sieve is similar to the 4A in that it has sodium […]

Compressed Natural Gas Drying Using compressed natural gas (CNG) for vehicle fuel is a growing phenomenon in the US. The high cost of gasoline is not the only driving force for CNG growth. New natural gas sources including the massive amounts of natural gas reserves found in the various shale formations all over the US […]

On a molecular level, siloxanes are a chain of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms with an alkane compound. They are the building blocks for silicone products and are used in a wide variety of applications: sealants, adhesives, coatings, plastics, cosmetics, hygiene products, and others (Global Silicones Council). They come in different particle sizes, shapes, chemical […]
