Description
Carvapox : Granular activated carbon for adsorption of oxidizable organic molecules (alcohols, aldehydes, alkenes) of low molecular weight.
- Granular carbon raw material: Coconut shell.
- Raw material Carvapox pellet: Mineral coal.
- Particle size range (mesh): 4x10, 8x14, 14x30, or Pélet 4 mm.
- Presentation: 25 kg sacks, 100 kg bags.
Applications for Carvapox:
- Cartridge respirators (masks).
- Control of specific gaseous contaminants in vents and enclosed spaces (such as formaldehyde or isopropyl alcohol).
- Purification of storage and distribution areas for fresh fruits and foods (where premature ripening is to be avoided).
Carvapox is a highly microporous, impregnated carbon designed to retain organic compounds that are particularly susceptible to oxidation and whose high volatility does not make them effectively adsorbable on standard activated carbon.
This product combines the enormous surface area provided by activated carbon with the oxidizing capacity of compounds impregnated in an acid medium on the carbon surface. Carvapox has high hardness and abrasion resistance and therefore has low breakage losses during handling.
Carvapox Pélet 8 has a high hardness and therefore erosion is minimal during handling. Carvapox Pélet is an activated carbon, pulverized and pelletized, of mineral origin. It is then impregnated to oxidize from its surface organic compounds whose high volatility does not make them adsorbable on a standard activated carbon. Among the molecules retained by this carbon are aldehydes, alcohols, alkenes and alkynes. This product combines the enormous surface area provided by activated carbon with the oxidizing capacity of the compounds that impregnate it.
