Molecular Sieve 3A

Molecular sieve 3A, also known as molecular sieve KA, with an aperture of about 3 angstroms, can be used for drying of gases and liquids as well as the dehydration of hydrocarbons. It is also widely used for the complete drying of petrol, cracked gases, ethylene, propylene and natural gases.
