Products and services

• 3A Molecular Sieve Potassium-form alkali aluminosilicate molecular sieve with 3 angstrom pore opening, designed for drying fuel grade ethanol and olefin drying applications by selectively adsorbing water to produce anhydrous ethanol with less than 1% water content.
• 4A Molecular Sieve Sodium-form alkali aluminosilicate molecular sieve with 4 angstrom pore opening for moisture removal and CO2 removal from natural gas, LPG, air, and for drying paint, PU plastic, and polyester materials.
• 5A Molecular Sieve Calcium-form molecular sieve with 5 angstrom pore opening suitable for PSA adsorber applications, separation of normal and iso-paraffins, hydrogen purification, and oxygen concentrators.
• 13X Molecular Sieve (APG) Alkali metal aluminosilicate with type X crystal structure and 10 angstrom pore opening, used for parafin sweetening, CO2 and H2O removal from air, solvent drying, and natural gas sweetening. Has the highest theoretical capacity among common adsorbents.
• AGOX Molecular Sieve for PSA/VPSA Lithium-form aluminosilicate molecular sieve with X-type crystal structure, specifically developed for PSA/VPSA oxygen concentrators with higher N2 adsorption capacity and N2/O2 selectivity for industrial oxygen production.
• Molecular Sieve – IG (Insulating Glass) Molecular sieve for insulating glass units that absorbs water and organics while excluding nitrogen and oxygen, maintaining clarity at low temperatures and prolonging IG window lifespan in double/triple glazed applications.
• Molecular Sieve for Refrigeration Universal desiccant molecular sieves (JLRD-5, JLRD-7, JLRD-9, JLRD-11) compatible with various refrigerants including R-12, R-22, R-134a, R-410a, R-407c for air conditioning and refrigeration systems, with high water capacity and attrition resistance.
• Air Brake Desiccant (Molecular Sieve BS-5) Sodium-form type A molecular sieve in beaded form with high mechanical strength, designed for truck air brake systems with high moisture adsorption capacity to remove moisture from compressed air.
• Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) Pellet-type carbon molecular sieve with 1.0-1.6mm diameter for nitrogen gas generation, utilizing differential oxygen and nitrogen adsorption rates under swinging pressure conditions to produce nitrogen gas with purity 99.5%–99.99%.
• Activated Alumina Balls Highly porous alumina balls used in dryers for petrochemical, textile, and oxygen-making industries, suitable for PSA air-separation with high heat-adsorption capacity and heat-free regeneration capability.
• Alumina Balls for Water Purification Activated alumina balls for treating potable water and wastewater, effective for removal of fluoride and arsenic with high preference for fluoride adsorption in water treatment applications.
• Alumina Grinding Balls High-density alumina ceramic balls available in multiple grades (M, SW, SD, L, AL9) for wet and dry grinding applications across ceramics, paints, chemicals, electronics, and plastics industries.
• Activated Zeolite Powder Synthetic zeolite powder available in 3A, 4A, 5A, and 13X grades for various adsorption applications with controlled product quality from manufacturing origin.
• Silica Gel Hard, granular, highly porous silicon dioxide desiccant with SiO2 content ≥98%, used for pharmaceutical packaging, moisture control, and industrial applications with moisture adsorption capacity up to 40% by weight at 100% RH.
• Silica Gel for Pharmaceuticals High-purity pharmaceutical grade silica gel in granular form with pure white color, designed specifically for moisture absorption in pharmaceutical packaging applications.
