FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose coconut-shell over coal-based carbon?

Coconut-shell carbon typically offers higher hardness, lower ash and a more microporous structure, which suits gas purification, catalyst support and food/pharma applications.

Why is coconut-shell carbon used as a catalyst support?

High hardness, high purity and low ash content make coconut-shell carbon suitable as a support where mechanical stability and clean surface chemistry matter.

What particle sizes are available?

The carbon is produced by carbonization, crushing, screening and steam activation, so particle size can be matched to the bed design. Specify your application and we will propose the suitable mesh.

Is it suitable for food and pharmaceutical use?

The documented applications include food decolorization and pharmaceutical processes. The appropriate grade and any required documentation are confirmed for the specific use.
