12x40 Acid Washed Granular Activated Carbon from Coconut Shell GAC 12x40AW is an activated carbon which is granular in form. Made from selected grades of coconut shell and then acid washed, it is ideal for many liquid phase applications including the removal of organics from water streams. Its superior level of hardness and low level of impurities make it cleaner than most other carbons and gives it longer life expectancy. NSF certified, it is suitable for drinking water and food grade applications. It is recommended to rinse the carbon from any carbon fines before use.

IPW Industries Inc's 12x40 Mesh carbon has a very sophisticated control over each aspect of the Activated Carbon produced, such as, : Particle Size (as specified by ASTM, BS, JIS AARL) Particle distribution (across meshes) Activity (as measured by CTC, Butane or Iodine index) Density Hardness Ash content Impurity level (controlled through a number of standard washing processes) Features Benefits: The adsorptive capacity of coconut shell granular activated carbon (GAC) makes it ideal for removing a variety of contaminants from water, air, liquids and gases. GAC is also an environmentally responsible product that can be reactivated through thermal oxidation and used multiple times for the same application. By varying manufacturing conditions, internal pore structures are created by imparting unique adsorption properties specific to each product type. The choice of product for a specific application will vary due to differing impurities and proprietary process conditions. That means whatever is the granular activated carbon need, CG Carbon has a product engineered specifically to give the best solution.
