"Cardinal"? Do you have a website for this company? I've been looking 
for a supplier of molecular sieve that doesn't charge outrageous 
prices.
I assume the numbers are the catalog number for the sieve -- is it 3 
- 4 Angstrom? The sieve pores must be that size to trap water 
molecules.
Thanks.
Phil
