3A Molecular Sieve
The 3A molecular sieve is a highly specialized desiccant designed to maintain the clarity and performance of insulating glass units (IGUs). Its unique pore structure, precisely at 3 Angstroms, allows for the selective adsorption of water molecules while excluding larger gas molecules like nitrogen and oxygen. This ensures that the air or gas trapped within the insulating glass remains dry, preventing fogging and condensation even under extreme temperature variations. Unlike other desiccants, 3A molecular sieves offer a long service life and are environmentally safe, making them the ideal choice for modern, energy-efficient window solutions.
- Adsorbs moisture to prevent insulating glass fogging, ensuring clear and transparent windows year-round.
- Offers superior dew point protection, maintaining low moisture levels within the insulating glass unit.
- Minimizes gas co-adsorption, crucial for preserving the thermal insulation performance of inert gas fills like argon.
- Provides a long service life, synchronized with the lifespan of insulating glass, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Product Advantages
High Adsorption Capacity
With a water absorption capacity exceeding 20% (w/w), 3A molecular sieves offer significantly more moisture removal than traditional desiccants, ensuring superior performance in moisture-adsorption.
Selective Adsorption
Its precise 3 Angstrom pore size selectively adsorbs water molecules, preventing the co-adsorption of nitrogen and oxygen, thus avoiding window distortion issues.
Long Service Life
Designed for durability, these molecular sieves offer a theoretical adsorption life of over 25 years, perfectly matching the expected lifespan of high-quality insulating glass.
