Molecular Sieve

The Molecular Sieve is a highly specialized desiccant material used in the manufacturing of insulating glass units (IGUs) to maintain optimal thermal performance and extend product lifespan. This material is composed of a network of tiny pores that act as molecular filters, effectively removing moisture and other contaminants from the air gap within the IGU.
One of the key benefits of the Molecular Sieve is its exceptional moisture adsorption capacity. It can absorb and retain large amounts of moisture, ensuring that the air gap remains dry and free of condensation, which can compromise the thermal insulation of the IGU.
This desiccant is also known for its high thermal stability. It can withstand extreme temperatures without losing its adsorption capabilities, making it suitable for use in IGUs exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
The Molecular Sieve is often incorporated into the hollow interior of aluminum spacer bars, providing a continuous source of moisture protection throughout the lifespan of the IGU. Its compact and efficient design maximizes the desiccant's surface area, enhancing its moisture adsorption efficiency.
In addition to its functional benefits, the Molecular Sieve is safe and environmentally friendly. It does not release harmful chemicals or byproducts during use, making it a sustainable choice for IGU manufacturers. Its ability to maintain a dry and contaminant-free air gap within IGUs contributes to more energy-efficient and durable window and door systems.
