AX0 4x8
Filtracarb® AX0 is a granular activated carbon manufactured from specially selected grades of coconut shells by a steam activation process.
The material is manufactured under stringently controlled conditions to produce a porous adsorbent with a highly developed internal surface area.
Acid washing, followed by neutralisation, is then undertaken, to remove soluble mineral constituents from the matrix of the activated carbon, producing an adsorbent of exceptional purity.
- Washed adsorbent of exceptional purity
- Stringently controlled particle size
- Excellent product hardness
- Neutral surface pH
- Minimum chloride levels for corrosion control
- Maximum ignition temperature
- Ideal for recovery of sensitive solvents
- Supplied to BS EN ISO 9001:2008
