Activated Carbon

Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, is a form of carbon that has been processed to create millions of tiny pores between the carbon atoms, resulting in a dramatically increased surface area. The surface area of activated carbon makes the material suitable for adsorption, a process by which impurities are removed from fluids.

ErtelAlsop proudly uses Cabot activated carbon in the manufacturing of our activated carbon impregnated filter sheets.
