13X activated molecular sieve powder is a molecular sieve synthetic powder with special additives and calcined at high temperature. It has a pore size of 10 angstroms and is very active. It can adsorb molecules with larger diameters, which enables it to effectively capture a variety of organic compounds and macromolecular substances such as sulfides that produce odor in rubber.

Toggle13X Activated Molecular Sieve Powder for Removing Odor from Rubber
- large specific surface area
- strong adsorption capacity
- stable chemical properties
- removing moisture
- eliminating bubble
- high dispersibility
Adding an appropriate amount of 13X molecular sieve powder can improve the tensile strength, hardness and wear resistance of rubber to a certain extent. At the same time, it can also absorb moisture in rubber, reduce the viscosity of rubber during processing, make rubber mixing, molding and other processing processes smoother, and improve processing efficiency and product quality.
Application Principle
Rubber will produce various odors during the production process, mainly from the rubber raw materials themselves, additives and chemical reactions during processing. 13X zeolite molecular sieve powder absorbs these odor-producing molecules into its pore structure by physical adsorption, thereby achieving the purpose of removing odor. It has a strong adsorption effect on polar molecules and unsaturated molecules, and many odor substances in rubber belong to this type of molecules, such as aldehydes, ketones, thiols, etc.
Usage
During the rubber mixing process, directly add 13X activated molecular sieve powder adsorbent to the rubber raw materials, generally adding about 0.5% – 2% of the rubber mass. Adding Xintao powder molecular sieve can not only suppress odor during rubber production but also improve the strength of rubber. The specific addition amount needs to be adjusted according to factors such as the type of rubber, the severity of the odor, and the performance requirements of the product.
Other Applications
As an amorphous desiccant, Xintao activated molecular sieve powder desiccant can adsorb impurities such as moisture that affect product quality without changing its own physical and chemical properties. In addition to rubber, 13X molecular sieve powder is also widely used in medicine, food, plastics, paints, coatings and cosmetics industries.
