Molecular Sieve is an adsorbent with a uniform microporous structure that can selectively adsorb molecules of specific sizes. Common types include 3A, 4A, 5A, 13X, etc. It is widely used in gas drying, air separation, petrochemicals, and other fields. In foreign trade, molecular sieves are typically exported as chemical products. Note: 1) Specify the model and specifications (such as pore size, adsorption capacity, bulk density, crushing strength, etc.), as different models vary greatly in use; 2) Packaging requirements (such as sealed and moisture-proof, usually cartons lined with plastic bags or iron drums); 3) Transportation and storage must be moisture-proof to avoid adsorption failure; 4) The difference from desiccants such as 'silica gel' and 'activated alumina' lies in its uniform pore size and strong selective adsorption, and they cannot be simply used interchangeably; 5) Exports require MSDS and composition analysis, and some countries have environmental or safety certification requirements. When quoting, specify FOB/CIF terms, minimum order quantity, and delivery time.
📝 Examples
1. We urgently need to purchase 5A molecular sieve for a hydrogen production unit. Please quote the best price CIF Shanghai Port and specify the adsorption capacity and crushing strength. (Note: Clarify model, use, and trade terms; key parameters for inquiry.)
2. Your company's 4A molecular sieve has passed SGS testing, but the packaging needs to be changed to iron drums lined with aluminum foil bags to prevent moisture failure during sea transportation. (Note: Emphasize packaging requirements to avoid transportation risks.)
💡 Foreign Trade Tips
Foreign trade terms are the foundation of international business communication
Trade practices may vary slightly by country; pay attention when using them
When using terms in contracts, specify the applicable version (e.g., Incoterms 2020)
