Sorbead R+
High-performance adsorbent, also known as KC-Trockenperlen N+
BASF SorbeadR+ is a high-performance adsorbent for dehydration of air, technical gases and liquids.
The BASF Sorbead line of highly efficient adsorbents are alumino-silicate gels in the form of hard, spherical beads, with a very high resistance to crushing and a low attrition rate. Sorbead adsorbents have a longer life than most other adsorbents and can reduce operating costs in most applications.
Sorbead R+ shows a high level of economy (above-average drying capacity at low required desorption
energy) and reliability (low level of product loss, high mechanical strength), which is derived from a combination of unique properties (high specific area, high bulk density, bead shape). Sorbead R+ is especially developed for operations requiring special product features like low corrosion risk or high crush strength and is usually protected from eventual liquid condensate by app.20% of Sorbead WS+.
