Product Introduction

Activated carbon filter media fixes fine carbon particles to a polyester nonwoven, polyurethane foam or composite support. The open support distributes airflow through the adsorbent layer while minimizing loose carbon carryover during cutting and pleating. It is used for light-duty odour and VOC polishing where a deep granular bed is unnecessary or space is limited. The material can be laminated to particle-filter media to create a combined dust-and-gas filter.

Key Features

Uniform carbon distribution avoids weak strips across the web.

A flexible support allows cutting, pleating and frame lamination.

Bonded carbon reduces dust release compared with loose granules.

Combination laminates can provide particulate and odour control in one shallow element.

Customer Product Concerns

Thin carbon media must balance adsorbent loading, airflow resistance, flexibility and carbon-dust control.

A low carbon loading reaches breakthrough after a short odour event.Basis weight and carbon add-on are selected for the available depth and service interval.

Loose black dust contaminates the downstream face.Bonded particles and a protective scrim retain carbon during conversion and use.

Heavy media cracks when folded into a pleat.A flexible nonwoven or foam carrier supports the carbon through forming operations.

A separate odour stage will not fit the existing filter track.Carbon media can be laminated to a particle web and installed in a shallow combination filter.

Typical Applications

Pleated carbon panel filtersHVAC odour-control padsAir purifier replacement mediaElectronics cabinet filtersLight-duty VOC polishing
