Zeolite 4A

Description :

Overview of Zeolite 4A

Zeolite 4A is a synthetic crystalline aluminosilicate widely used as a molecular sieve and ion-exchange material. It is best known for its strong water-absorbing capacity, making it an essential ingredient in detergents, cleaning formulations, and industrial separation processes. Zeolite 4A selectively adsorbs moisture and small polar molecules while remaining chemically stable and non-toxic.

Due to its excellent calcium ion exchange ability, Zeolite 4A is commonly used as a phosphate-free detergent builder, supporting eco-friendly and high-performance cleaning products.
ChemicalBull supplies high-purity Zeolite 4A suitable for detergent, industrial, and chemical processing applications.

Applications of Zeolite 4A

Detergent & Cleaning Industry

Zeolite 4A is extensively used in household and industrial detergents:

• Acts as a powerful water softener by removing calcium and magnesium ions

• Enhances detergent efficiency in hard water conditions

• Used in laundry powders, dishwashing detergents, and cleaning agents

• Environmentally safe alternative to sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP)

• Improves surfactant performance and soil removal

Commonly formulated with Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES), Sodium Carbonate, and Sodium Silicate.

Industrial & Chemical Applications

Zeolite 4A plays a vital role in multiple industrial processes:

• Used as a molecular sieve for gas and liquid drying

• Removes moisture from solvents, refrigerants, and gases

• Used in air separation units and chemical processing plants

• Supports controlled adsorption and separation operations

Often combined with Activated Alumina, Silica Gel, and Molecular Sieve 3A.

Packaging & Moisture Control Applications

Zeolite 4A is widely applied in moisture management systems:

• Used in desiccant packets and drying agents

• Protects pharmaceuticals, electronics, and chemicals from humidity

• Provides long-term moisture adsorption

• Non-corrosive and chemically stable

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Use gloves and a dust mask while handling powder form

• Avoid inhalation of fine particles

• Store in sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption

• Keep in a dry, well-ventilated area
