Product Description
Molecular sieves are highly effective desiccants used in laboratories and industries for drying gases, liquids, and solvents. The 13x molecular sieve is a sodium form of type X zeolite with a pore size of approximately 10 Å, making it ideal for adsorbing larger molecules like aromatics and branched hydrocarbons.
This 1.5mm molecular sieve from CDH (160900) is widely used in gas purification systems, air separation units, and solvent drying processes. Its high adsorption capacity and thermal stability ensure reliable performance in critical applications.

Key Applications
Molecular sieves type 13x are essential in:
- Drying natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
- Removing water from solvents like ethanol and methanol
- Air separation for oxygen and nitrogen production
- Purifying refrigerants and industrial gases
Why Use 13x Molecular Sieves?
Unlike silica gel or activated alumina, 13x molecular sieves offer superior moisture adsorption at low partial pressures. Their uniform pore structure ensures selective adsorption, making them ideal for high-purity applications.
For best results, regenerate the sieves at 250–300°C to restore their adsorption capacity. Store in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption before use.
Safety & Handling
While generally safe, avoid inhaling dust. Use in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves when handling. Not for human consumption.
FAQs
What is the difference between 3A, 4A, and 13x molecular sieves?
3A and 4A sieves have smaller pores (3 Å and 4 Å), while 13x has 10 Å pores, making it suitable for larger molecules like aromatics.
Can I reuse molecular sieves?
Yes, they can be regenerated by heating to 250–300°C for 2–3 hours to remove adsorbed moisture.
What is the shelf life of molecular sieves?
When stored properly in sealed containers, they retain effectiveness for years. Exposure to humidity reduces their lifespan.
Is this product suitable for medical oxygen concentrators?
Yes, 13x molecular sieves are commonly used in medical and industrial oxygen generation systems.
