KC Trockenperlen® orange CHAMELEON® (Sorbead ®)

BASF Sorbead® Orange CHAMELEON® is an indicating silica gel specifically designed to protect processes and products from the harmful effects of moisture and humidity. It ensures maximum safety in moisture monitoring.

  • Sustainable moisture indicator: Sorbead® Orange CHAMELEON® is an environmentally friendly solution as it contains no carcinogenic substances.
  • Color change indicator: The beads change color from orange to transparent once a certain amount of moisture is absorbed. Moisture absorption continues beyond this point until the maximum capacity is reached.
  • Regeneration capability: After regeneration, the beads return to their original orange color and are fully functional again.

Sorbead ® Air

The BASF Sorbead® Air product line includes high-performance aluminosilicate gel adsorbents designed for the efficient drying of air, technical gases, and liquids. These patented Sorbead® Air products offer:

  • Large surface area: Maximizing adsorption efficiency.
  • Exceptional durability: Ensuring long-term reliability.
  • Low dew point levels: Achieving ultra-low pressure dew points.
  • Low desorption temperature: Reducing energy consumption during regeneration.

Activated Alumina

BASF F-200 is a specially manufactured, smooth sphere of activated alumina produced using BASF's unique manufacturing process. This material is ideal as a desiccant for a wide range of liquids and gases.

Molecular Sieve

BASF's extensive range of zeolite molecular sieve products provides:

  • High water adsorption: Even at low partial pressures.
  • Separation of similar polarity compounds: For enhanced purity.
  • Selective adsorption or separation by molecular size: For precise processing requirements.
  • Efficient drying of polar compounds: Ensuring product integrity.
  • Uniform bead sizes: Guaranteeing consistent pressure drop.
