ZSM-5 Catalyst
Zeolite Socony Mobil–5
Product Detail
Preparation Method: Hydrothermal Method
ZSM-5 is an advanced molecular sieve that boasts unique and exceptional properties that are employed in a variety of processes and applications across a broad range of industries. ZSM-5 is commonly used to convert methanol to gasoline and diesel. ZSM-5 catalyst is also used to decrease the freezing point of diesel fuel, maximize production of propylene, and improve the octane number of gasoline.
