What is Activated Carbon?

At its core, activated carbon is a highly porous form of carbon, created through a process that “activates” it. This activation process involves heating carbon-rich materials, such as coconut shells, wood, peat, or coal, in a controlled environment. This results in a material with a vast network of microscopic pores that significantly increase its surface area. The increased surface area allows for more efficient adsorption of impurities, toxins, and pollutants.

Why Choose Activated Carbon?

Efficiency

Activated carbon's high surface area provides an incredibly efficient means of adsorbing a wide variety of impurities.

Eco-Friendly

It's often derived from renewable resources like coconut shells, making it an environmentally responsible choice.
