All
the windows are of similar diameter. Diameter plays an important role in the
working of molecular sieves. Its accurate diameter is the unique identification
which differentiates it from the other desiccants. Different types of Molecularsieves are 3A, 4A, 5A, 10A which is also known as 13X. So, if the molecules of
the elements have smaller diameter as compared to the window opening of the
desiccant, the process of absorption happens otherwise it will not.
As
it has high network of pores, Molecular sieves can be said as the ultimate
source for absorbing moisture. This feature makes it demanding in the
industrial sector. This absorbent is synthetically produced from Zeolite and
has innumerable internal cavities which absorbs moisture and locks it inside
them. These desiccants can either be used individually or you also have the
option to use it in combination with other desiccant, in this way you can get
optimal solution. Different types of desiccants have different type of
absorbing qualities. In the case of molecular sieves, it has the capacity to
absorb moisture or gas up to 20 times of its own weight. Since, it is one of
the most effective and aggressive absorbents available in market, it costs a
little higher than the other desiccants. This desiccant is used in various
organizations like pharmaceutical and medical industry, food and refrigeration
industry and also cosmetics and petroleum industry. Apart from this, it is
widely used in electronic and computer industry.
