Item Details
UOP Molecular Sieves* are synthetically produced, crystalline metal aluminosilicates that have been activated for adsorption by removing their water of hydration. Unlike other adsorbents, Molecular Sieves have a precise uniform size and molecular dimension. K12[(AlO2)12(SiO2)12] - X H2O - Molecular Sieve Type 3A, the potassium form of the Type A Crystal structure, is an alkali metal alumino-silicate. *Airgas repackages and markets Molecular Sieves manufactured by UOP. This product is a 135 kg drum of 3A 1/8" pellets that is non returnable.
