Product type
Activated carbon food grade is a highly porous material derived from carbon-rich sources, such as coconut shells or wood. It undergoes a process of activation, which increases its surface area and adsorption capacity, making it effective in removing impurities and contaminants. This product is typically used in food processing to enhance the purity and quality of food products by adsorbing unwanted substances.
| Material | Coconut shell or wood-based carbon |
| Activation method | Steam or chemical activation |
| Iodine number | Typically 800 to 1200 mg/g |
| Mesh size | Typically 20 to 80 mesh |
| Moisture content | Less than 5% |
When selecting activated carbon food grade, consider the source material and activation method, as these can affect adsorption properties. Specify the iodine number and mesh size to ensure the product meets your processing needs. Additionally, inquire about certifications for food safety and purity to ensure compliance with industry standards. Quantities should be based on your production requirements, with bulk options often available.
