Nuno,
Don't confuse molecular sieve with silica gel or the calcium chloride /
calcium sulphate  type desiccants.

The ms appears as dull cream/white hard pellets which are sodium or calcium
aluminosilicate.  Under the right conditions they can take the water
content down to 10ppm (10 parts per million) or better.

Cheers,
Paul
