Applications
Activated Carbon for Personal Protection
Activated Carbon has a long and detailed history as front-line defence in protecting users from harmful or toxic gases in a variety of scenarios ranging from military, first responders, and industrial applications to the domestic and every day.
The highly microporous structure of our coconut shell carbons is particularly suited to the removal of small molecules such as volatile organic compounds. The activity is very precisely specified for a particular application, and the high density and hardness provide for a robust bed which is resistant to rough usage. Alternatively, in car or room air filtration applications, the high purity and low dust content allow the carbons to be easily incorporated into laminated media, which is then pleated to allow maximum surface area and minimum pressure drop. The wide variety of available impregnation treatments broadens the range of applications to include many other organic and inorganic contaminants.
In air filter design, it is important to correctly balance the requirement to maximise gas sorption capacity whilst minimising flow resistance. Our carbons are available in a very wide range of size distributions to allow the filter designer to optimise this aspect
Our activated carbon respirator range

- SRK
- K-type respirator carbon.
- RPPW AND RPPU SERIES

The Eurocarb C activated carbons are a specialist range used in the control and adsorption of acid gases. This material is exclusively used in air treatment, commonly used for the removal of strong odours in a variety of field applications. Applications include fume cupboards filters and sewage air treatment.
C range carbons work best in the presence of oxygen and standard humidity. Where there is no oxygen present, please consider our KI range of carbons.
