Reusable Premium 3A Grade Desiccant Molecular Sieve

Protect your items with our 3A Molecular Sieve Desiccant, a premium moisture control solution. It absorbs water vapor to keep environments dry. This sieve is vacuum-sealed for optimal condition. It’s perfect for preserving documents and other sensitive applications. Use these moisture control beads in electronics or storage spaces. This reusable solution ensures long-lasting performance.

Why Choose Our 3A Molecular Sieve Desiccant?

Our moisture control beads offer superior drying capabilities. They’re engineered for efficiency and durability. Key features include:

  • High Moisture Capacity: Absorbs water vapor effectively. It outperforms silica gel by removing trapped H2O molecules.
  • Selective Adsorption: Targets water vapor, ammonia, and polar liquids. It excludes most hydrocarbons for safe use.
  • Low Relative Humidity: Reduces humidity to as low as 1% RH. This super dry solution ensures a dry environment.
  • Reusable Design: Regenerate and reuse multiple times. Follow the regeneration steps for long-term use.

What is a 3A Molecular Sieve Desiccant?

A molecular bead is a synthetic porous crystalline aluminosilicate. It traps specific molecules like water vapor. Our Molecular Sieve has a 3A pore size. This allows water vapor adsorption but excludes hydrocarbons. It’s ideal for insulating glass production and moisture control. This superior drying agent handles high temperatures. It traps water vapor up to 225°C in some cases. It outperforms silica gel for many applications. It’s a top choice for moisture packets in sensitive environments.

Product Specifications:

These 3A Molecular Sieve Desiccant Beads offer precision and performance, with:

  • Bead Size: 1mm to 1.5mm, ideal for various applications.
  • Material: High K (Potassium) content 3A zeolite beads. No odour, eco-friendly, and biodegradable.
  • Moisture Capacity: High, per DIN EN1279-2 Annex D Tc = 20%.
  • Certifications: REACH compliant 01-2119429034, ISO9001:2000 certified. Meets EN 1279-2 and EN 1279-3 standards.
  • Features: Low initial moisture, low static charge, low dust index. Certified for air and gas filling.

This insulating glass solution achieves low dew point temperatures. It ensures cleaner filling with less contamination.

Application Guidance:

Use this 3A zeolite beads to control moisture in various settings. Place the beads in a breathable container, similar to desiccant bags. Position them in the area needing moisture control. This could be inside electronic equipment or storage spaces. They absorb water vapor to prevent fogging. Check the sieve periodically for saturation. Regenerate it when needed to maintain performance. This ensures long-term moisture protection.

The beads are also useful in motorhomes, caravans and cars. They protect many materials from humidity damage.

Regeneration Procedure:

Regenerate your sieve beads to reuse them multiple times. Follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Preheat a clean oven to 400°F. Avoid temperatures above 450°F to prevent damage.
  • Step 2: Cover a metal cookie sheet with aluminium foil. This makes cleanup easier.
  • Step 3: Spread the beads evenly on the sheet. Leave it uncovered.
  • Step 4: Place the sheet in the oven for 2–8 hours. Stir every 30 minutes to release moisture.
  • Step 5: Let the beads cool for at least an hour. Handle or store them safely.
  • Step 6: Repeat the process when needed. Proper regeneration ensures reusability.

Use these beads for shipping containers to protect goods. This super dry solution can replace silica gel bags or moisture packets for effective moisture control.

Care & Maintenance Guidelines:

Maximize the effectiveness and lifespan of your 3A Sieve beads with these simple maintenance practices:

  • Proper Storage: Keep unused desiccant beads in a dry, airtight container when not in use to prevent premature moisture absorption.
  • Regular Monitoring: Check beads periodically for color changes or reduced effectiveness, which indicate saturation.
  • Timely Regeneration: Regenerate beads as soon as reduced effectiveness is noticed to restore performance. Follow the regeneration procedure outlined above.
  • Temperature Control: Avoid exposing beads to temperatures exceeding 450°F (232°C) during regeneration or use to ensure longevity.
  • Handling Precautions: Use clean, dry tools when handling beads to prevent contamination and maintain their efficacy.

Following these guidelines ensures your molecular sieve desiccant maintains peak performance through multiple use cycles, providing reliable moisture protection for your valuable items.
