Wisesorb Activated Alumina Desiccant (5.44 kg / 12 LBS) is engineered for superior moisture absorption, making it ideal for protecting sensitive materials like 3D printer filaments and ensuring dry compressed air. Its premium raw material and highly porous structure provide a large surface area, allowing it to absorb more than 30% of its weight in water vapor under standard conditions. This reusable desiccant is designed for longevity and effectiveness, offering a reliable solution for humidity control in various applications.
This activated alumina is suitable for deep drying applications, achieving dew points as low as -100°F/-73°C. Its stable physical and chemical characteristics, even in high temperatures and corrosive environments, make it a robust choice for industrial and hobbyist use. The 3-5mm beads are easy to handle and integrate into drying systems, whether used in heated or pressure swing dryers. Its effectiveness extends to drying air and most other gases with high humidity levels.
Regenerating the activated alumina is straightforward: heat the beads in an oven at 200°C-250°C for 8 hours. This process restores its absorptive capacity, allowing for repeated use and cost-effectiveness. For optimal performance, place the activated alumina into a watertight dryer or container within your compressed air or gas system. Imported from authorized US retailers and authorized brand partners, all customs duties and GST are included in the listed price. Delivery is via ExpressBox tracked service.
