Molecular sieve 5 Å, 250 g, glass

Molecular Sieve 5 Å is available in professionally graded form for technical applications. This desiccant, identified as Sodium Silicate, has a molecular formula of Na2O·nSiO2·xH2O and a molecular weight of approximately 220 g/mol. It belongs to the class of silicates, which are inorganic polymers consisting of silicon and oxygen atoms linked together by covalent bonds. This compound is commonly used as a filter aid due to its ability to selectively adsorb water molecules while allowing other substances to pass through. It is available in a glass container weighing 250 grams. Additionally, it should be handled with care in a well-ventilated area, as it may release dust upon opening.
