| KC-Trockenperlen H High-performance  silica gel adsorbent
 
 BASF Sorbead H is a high-performance,  extremely robust silica gel adsorbent primarily used  for control  of hydrocarbon dew point in compressed natural gas. The BASF Sorbead line of highly efficient adsorbents is an  alumino-silicate gel formed into hard, spherical beads ¨C having a 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.
 BASF Sorbead H is used for controlling dew point and  recovery of heavy hydrocarbons from
 natural gas. Simultaneously, Sorbead H dehumidifies the  natural  gas. Sorbead H is  protected  from liquid condensation by approx. 20% of Sorbead WS.
