Activated Carbon Fibers

Gas Phase Applications (Deodorization/VOC Adsorption)

Filters for gas phase applications use activated carbon fibers for air purification to enable rapid adsorption and low pressure loss. They provide excellent deodorization performance for various types of odor, including the four major sources of stench (ammonia, trimethylamine, hydrogen sulfide, and methyl mercaptan) and the smells of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from housing interior materials. Besides the deodorization capabilities, features such as dust removal, antibacterial and antifungal properties and others can be added by combining different functional materials. We offer a line of products that cover a wide range of areas from improving work environments to making everyday life more comfortable.
