Description

Zeolite CAS NO 1318-02-1 is a versatile class of microporous, aluminosilicate minerals renowned for their exceptional adsorption, ion-exchange, and catalytic properties. Its value lies in providing a high-surface-area, selective molecular sieve that is thermally stable and chemically inert, making it indispensable for purification and separation processes. This material is critical for industries requiring drying, filtration, catalysis, or environmental remediation, such as petrochemical refining, water treatment, detergent manufacturing, and gas separation.

Application

• Adsorption & Drying Agent: Used extensively for drying natural gas, refrigerants, and industrial air streams due to its high affinity for water vapor.
• Catalyst & Catalyst Support: Serves as a solid acid catalyst and support in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) and other petrochemical processes for hydrocarbon conversion.
• Ion-Exchange Medium: Employed in water softening, heavy metal removal from wastewater, and in detergent formulations as a phosphate substitute.
• Molecular Sieve: Separates molecules based on size and polarity in gas (e.g., oxygen from air) and liquid phase separations.
• Agricultural & Animal Feed Additive: Used as a carrier for nutrients, a mycotoxin binder, and an agent to improve feed efficiency.
• Construction Material Additive: Incorporated into concrete to control moisture and improve workability and durability.

Quality Control

Our zeolite products are manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Key parameters such as adsorption capacity, particle size distribution, bulk density, and chemical composition are rigorously tested. We can supply materials compliant with various industry standards, including FCC for food contact applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the product must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. The recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture uptake and caking.
