|  | KC-Trockenperlen N High  performance adsorbent
 
 BASF Sorbead R is a high  performance  adsorbent for dehydration of air, industrial gases and liquids. The BASF Sorbead line of highly efficient adsorbents is an  alumino-silicate gel formed into hard, spherical beads 每 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.
 Sorbead R is an adsorbent with a wide range of applications  and its high level of economy and reliability is derived from a  combination  of unique properties. Examples of economic benefits  include high  drying capacity and low desorption energy. BASF Sorbead R  is mainly used for the dynamic drying of compressed air, natural gas,  technical  gases (e.g. N2, O2 and CO2) and liquefied gases.
