Drying Agents

Products such as aluminas, silicas and molecular sieves can be used as reasonably effective drying agents that usually can be regenerated. Current chemical literature reflects an active interest in the drying process, and even the method by which a chemical reagent is produced as a dry solid has been investigated; for example, the effectiveness of anhydrous KF as a fluorinating agent has been related to its preparation by freezedrying and spraydrying techniques.

Comparative studies of desiccant efficiencies in reagent and solvent drying have been made.

In addition to aluminum oxide, silica gel, molecular sieves, activated carbon and montmorillonite, we offer a comprehensive line of chemical products, including various grades of Drierite™ products, which can be used as drying agents.
