3A activated powder

Molecular sieve activated powder
3A Molecular Sieve is a type of aluminosilicate desiccant with a specific pore size of approximately 3 Å (angstroms), which is ideal for selectively adsorbing small molecules like water and certain gases. It is commonly used in a powder form (activated powder) to provide an even higher surface area and increased adsorption capacity compared to its pellet or bead form. This activated powder form is typically produced by crushing the granules into a fine powder while maintaining its strong adsorption properties.
