Data

Sheet
The BASF KC-Trockenperlen line of Typical distribution
highly efficient adsorbents are alumino- of grain size
silicate gels in the form of hard,
spherical beads, with a very high 2.0 5.0 mm
resistance to crushing and a low

attrition rate. KC-Trockenperlen
adsorbents have a longer life than most Packaging

other adsorbents and can reduce
operating costs in most applications. Big bag 750 kgs
Steel drums 130 kgs
