Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants and
Elastomers (CASE)

Zeochem’s Purmol powders are excellent moisture scavengers for polyurethane coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers. Purmol adsorbents are synthetic zeolites in powder form with a complex alkali aluminosilicate structure. This structure is very open and contains pores of a regular and precisely defined size. This allows Zeochem Purmol powders to adsorb molecules selectively based on molecular size and polarity. In practice, Purmol powder adsorbs water, but not solvents, resins or pigments. Its powder form allows for easy incorporation.

The Purmol product line has a wide variety of uses. While many current applications are based on polyurethane and other plastics, Purmol powders can be used in numerous formulations where selective adsorption of small polar molecules is required within a liquid or solid medium. Its fine particle size ensures intimate mixing and excellent dispersion.

In each of the following applications, Purmol powder is a vital component of a top-quality formulation.

13X

Type 13X offers enhanced adsorption properties and the ability to remove impurities too large to be adsorbed by the type A zeolites.

3A

3A is made by ion-exchanging the sodium in type 4A zeolite with potassium. The 3A molecular sieve will exclude most molecules except water, making it very selective.

4A

4A is the sodium form of the type A zeolite molecular sieve and is widely used as a general purpose drying agent. Under certain conditions, it can also be used for removal of ammonia, alcohols, carbon dioxide, H2S and other specific molecules.

5A

5A is the calcium-exchanged form of the type A zeolite molecular sieve and is primarily used for removing carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, alcohols and other oxygenates, hydrogen sulfide, methyl and ethyl mercaptans, and others.
