Zeolites are synthetic porous aluminosilicate materials, due to uniform pore distribution they are also known as molecular sieves.
Its special characteristics have caused an ecological revolution, as it has successfully replaced environmentally harmful ingredients in detergents.
Zeolites in detergents enable the replacement of sodium cations with calcium and magnesium cations from water, thus softening the water and ensuring optimal activity of other components.
As ion exchangers, zeolites are used to remove organic compounds, heavy metal and radioactive substances from water or contaminated soil.
Construction is another important application field of zeolites. Zeolites are mostly used in the production of various types of concrete.
Zeolites are used in agriculture in the production of fertilisers as a flowability-enhancing agent and for slow and uniform release of active ingredients in the soil. They prevent the washing out of nutrients from the soil and regulate soil humidity.
fillers in the manufacturing of paints, coatings and paper,
as odour removal agents in households (e.g. pet litter additive),
As catalysts in acid-catalysed reactions (cracking, isomerisation, alkylation).
