Molecular Sieve (Tyvek)

Molecular sieve Unit Paks offers drying applications for all size packaging. These Unit Paks meet or exceed MIL Spec 3464, Type I and II.. One unit is approximately equal to one ounce a molecular sieve is the most effective option for removing water from liquids and gases. Molecular sieve desiccants can get purer results than older products like silica gel and alumina desiccants.

The difference with mole sieve is the construction. These adsorbents are made with tiny and uniform pores, making them supreme. Molecular sieve desiccants work like other sieves, only on a much more exact level. When a gas or liquid is passed through the mole sieve, smaller pieces are adsorbed while larger molecules pass through. Unlike other filters, the adsorbed substance is then trapped. Therefore, when water is used in the sieve, penetrating water molecules are caught and retained in the pores, leaving the remaining liquid substantially cleared of the water molecules.

In all, a mole sieve adsorbs up to 22% of its own weight in water. More than that, these sieves are exceptionally versatile, with adsorption possible based on molecular size, molecular affinity for the sieve crystal surface, or even the shape of the molecule. For these reasons, molecular sieve desiccants can produce gases or liquids that are virtually water free.

Molecular sieve can be regenerated by heating it to an optimal temp from 130°C to 250°C.
