Important distinction reminder
CAS 1318-02-1=4A zeolite (sodium aluminosilicate, detergent grade)
CAS 1327-44-2=Natural/synthetic potassium silicoaluminate zeolite (common zeolite precursor, often used as 3A molecular sieve raw material), the two have different cation types, so do not mix them up when placing an order.
Basic product information

Packaging
Standard packaging: 25kg multi-layer kraft paper bag lined with PE inner film bag
Bulk: 500kg/1000kg ton bagsSample: 1kg, 5kg sealed PE bags
Storage and transportation
Storage conditions
Store in a cool, dry, and ventilated warehouse with sealed packaging to prevent moisture absorption; Water absorption will reduce adsorption and exchange capacity.Keep away from strong acids and corrosive chemicals, and store in separate areas.
Avoid long-term outdoor storage and exposure to sunlight.
Transportation requirements
Ordinary general cargo, not classified as hazardous chemicals;
Rainproof and moisture-proof measures are taken during transportation to prevent damage to packaging bags;
It is prohibited to mix with concentrated acid and oxidants for transportation.
Key Tips for Foreign Trade Procurement
The market easily confuses two zeolite CAS:
1318-02-1 (4A zeolite, sodium type, mainstream laundry detergent aid)1327-44-2 (Potassium type zeolite, commonly used for desiccants and catalysis)
The CAS distinction must be clearly stated in the contract and customs declaration to avoid incorrect versions of the goods.
Confirm the form before procurement: powder/strip-shaped particles; Different purposes correspond to different processing specifications.
