SX0 20x50
Filtracarb® SX0 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.
- Versatile liquid phase adsorbent
- Low pressure drop characteristics
- Excellent product hardness
- Drinking Water Inspectorate approved
- Supplied to BS EN ISO 9001:2008
