Activated Alumina A05
SKU: AA05
Activated alumina A05 is a highly porous, synthetically manufactured form of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃). It is used primarily as a desiccant to remove moisture from gases and liquids. It’s also used to filter water and to purify gas streams by selectively adsorbing certain molecules.
A05 is inert, non-toxic and can adsorb gases and liquids without changing its form. Even if submersed in liquid it will remain stable and does not degrade or soften. It has a low dust surface, high crush strength, and can withstand temperatures as low as -40°C.
A05 can be reused by heating to a temperature between 177°C to 316°C. This allows for repeated use without loss of performance.
Typical Applications Include:
Compressed air drying systems
Liquid phase drying
Treatment of transformer oils, lubricants, and refrigerants
Drying of natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG)
With its exceptional thermal and chemical stability, Activated Alumina A05 is well-suited for demanding environments and extreme temperature applications. It remains one of the most cost-effective and reliable solutions for moisture control, particularly in compressed air systems.
