Our Carbon Solutions
Two Formats.
Multiple Grades.
One Source.
We supply a complete range of coconut shell activated carbon in granular and powdered form. All products are sourced to precise specifications, tested to ASTM standards every batch, and export-ready for delivery to your location.
Every shipment comes with a certificate of analysis. Custom grades and bulk packaging available on request.
Choosing the Right Grade
Our granular activated carbon is available across three quality tiers, allowing you to match performance requirements to your application and budget. All tiers use the same Philippine coconut shell feedstock — what changes is the precision of processing and the resulting performance ceiling.
| Property | Standard Grade | Premium Grade | Ultra-pure Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iodine Number (mg/g) | 800–1,000 | 1,000–1,200 | 1,200–1,400 |
| Ash Content (%) | ≤8 | ≤5 | ≤5 |
| Moisture (%) | ≤5 | ≤5 | ≤5 |
| Particle Size | ≤2mm (granulated) | ≤2mm (granulated) | ≤2mm (granulated) |
| Bulk Density (g/L) | 400–500 | 450–550 | Varies by size |

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
Available in four mesh sizes. All GAC grades feature hardness exceeding 95% and low fines generation
critical for stable, long-life fixed-bed filtration systems.
Combine with your chosen quality tier for full specification.
GAC 6×12 — The workhorse for high-flow and gas-phase systems.
Designed for applications where high volumetric flow rates and low pressure drop are critical. At 3.35–1.68 mm, it maintains excellent bed stability — the go-to choice for gas-phase systems, gold recovery operations, and industrial vapour control.
- Mesh size: 6×12 (3.35 mm – 1.68 mm)
- Iodine number: 800–1,400 mg/g depending on grade tier selected
- Hardness: ≥95% | Bulk density: 400–600 g/L
- Best for: Gas phase, vapour/solvent recovery, gold adsorption (CIP/CIL), industrial air treatment
GAC 8×30 — The global standard for water treatment.
The most widely specified activated carbon grade in water treatment globally. Delivers the optimal balance of contact time and flow rate for removing chlorine, taste and odour compounds, disinfection by-products, and dissolved organics from municipal intake to point-of-use.
- Mesh size: 8×30 (2.38 mm – 0.59 mm)
- Iodine number: 800–1,400 mg/g depending on grade tier selected
Hardness: ≥95% | Bulk density: 400–600 g/L - Best for: Drinking water treatment, municipal filtration, wastewater polishing, groundwater remediation
GAC 12×40 — High precision. High performance.
Finer granulation than the 8×30, delivering higher surface contact per unit volume and tighter filtration performance. The standard choice for food and beverage processors and pharmaceutical manufacturers requiring consistent purity and regulatory-grade documentation.
- Mesh size: 12×40 (1.68 mm – 0.42 mm)
- Iodine number: 800–1,400 mg/g depending on grade tier selected
- Hardness: ≥95% | Bulk density: 400–600 g/L
- Best for: Potable water, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical filtration, taste and odour removal
GAC 30×60 — Micro-filtration at granular efficiency.
A specialty grade with very fine particle size (0.59–0.25 mm) and the bed stability of granular carbon. Maximum adsorption in systems where powder handling is impractical but fine-grade performance is required.
- Mesh size: 30×60 (0.59 mm – 0.25 mm)
- Iodine number: 800–1,400 mg/g depending on grade tier selected
- Hardness: ≥93% | Bulk density: 400–600 g/L
- Best for: Specialty water filtration, high-purity liquid treatment, taste and odour control
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)
PAC -200 Mesh — Maximum surface. Maximum contact. Instant action.
At -200 mesh (≤74 microns), PAC provides exceptional surface area and fast adsorption kinetics. The right choice for rapid treatment processes, slurry-based systems, or wherever immediate adsorption response is required.
Mesh size: -200 (≤74 microns)
Iodine number: 800–1,400 mg/g
Surface area: Up to 1,500 m²/g
Moisture: ≤1–5% | Ash: ≤2–8%
Best for: Emergency water treatment, wastewater treatment, textile processing, food and pharmaceutical manufacturing, slurry-based systems
Tested Every Batch To the Standard Your Application Demands
Every product we supply is tested against six core parameters before shipment using internationally recognised ASTM methods. You receive a full certificate of analysis with every order.
| Test Parameter | Specification | Standard | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Particle Size | ≤2mm (granulated) | ASTM D2862 | Every batch |
| Iodine Number | 800–1,400 mg/g | ASTM D4607 | Every batch |
| Ash Content | ≤2–8% | ASTM D2866 | Every batch |
| Moisture Content | ≤1–5% | ASTM D2867 | Every batch |
| Bulk Density | 400–600 g/L | ASTM D2854 | Every batch |
Full documentation is available upon request for regulated applications including municipal water treatment, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and food and beverage processing.
