Molecular Sieve 3A
Molecular Sieve 3A for Industrial Desiccant Moisture Removal
Molecular Sieve 3A is a potassium based material with tiny, uniform pores measuring 3 (Å). It is designed to selectively adsorb water molecules while rejecting larger ones such as hydrocarbons, alcohols, and unsaturated compounds. This makes it the ideal desiccant for applications where moisture removal is critical but interaction with other molecules must be avoided.
At Medaad, we supply high performance 3A molecular sieve beads & Pellets in bulk to industrial applications Worldwide, including United State, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and the Northeast. Our product is trusted in sectors like gas processing, petrochemicals, refrigerant drying, and hydrocarbon purification.
Industrial Use of 3A Molecular Sieve
3A Molecular Sieve is most commonly used for drying unsaturated hydrocarbons such as ethylene and propylene. It’s also widely used for moisture control in LPG, cracked gas streams, and polar solvent dehydration, especially where larger molecules like C3 and C4 must not be adsorbed. Its selectivity makes it a preferred option over Molecular Sieves 4A or 5A Molecular Sieves in hydrocarbon sensitive environments.
Its strong mechanical integrity and low dust formation, mole sieve 3A performs consistently in both static and dynamic adsorption systems.
Available Mesh Sizes:
Our molecular sieve 3A is available in bead & Pellets sizes with all batches supported by technical datasheets and material certifications.

Key performance advantages include:
- Reliable water selectivity
- High crush strength for long system life
- Low dust levels to protect sensitive systems
- Compatibility with PSA units and fixed beds
Applications of Molecular Sieve 3A
- Drying of unsaturated hydrocarbons (e.g., ethylene, propylene, butadiene)
- Moisture removal from liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
- Drying cracked gas in petrochemical processes
- Dehydration of polar solvents (e.g., methanol, ethanol)
- Protection against hydrate formation in gas pipelines
- Moisture removal in feed gases before polymerization
- Static drying of gases in sealed systems
- Drying of alcohols without adsorbing them
- Use in PSA and continuous adsorption systems
