Ball Zeolite 3A Molecular Sieve Desiccant for Hollow Glass Desiccation
Description of 3A Molecular Sieve Desiccant:
As we all know, the air mainly contains nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, as well as some rare gases and other gases and impurities.
Some common gas molecular diameters are as follows: He (helium) 0.26 nm, H2 (hydrogen) 0.289 nm, CO2 (carbon dioxide) 0.33 nm, Ar (argon)0.34 nm, O2 (oxygen) 0.346 nm, N2 (nitrogen) 0.364 nm, CO (carbon monoxide) 0.376 nm, CH4 (methane) 0.38 nm, HCHO (formaldehyde) 0.45 nm.
3A molecular sieve and air contact, only absorb gaseous water molecules in the air, will not absorb other components in the air, is the most ideal for insulating glass drying material.
Although 4A has a strong adsorption capacity for water, it also absorbs part of nitrogen and other inert gases in the air, and adsorbs and desorbs nitrogen with the rise and fall of the ambient temperature. When the temperature is slightly reduced, 4A molecular sieve will absorb the air in the hollow glass, resulting in a vacuum state; When the temperature rises, the 4A molecular sieve releases the air into the insulating glass spacer, causing the air in the insulating glass to expand. With the change of temperature difference between day and night and seasonal change, insulating glass is easily distorted and broken due to expansion and contraction, and its life is shortened. Sudden breaking of insulating glass may lead to major safety accidents, therefore, it is strictly prohibited to use non-3A molecular sieve as desiccant for insulating glass.
