Grades Packing Unit Shipment Unit Full range of sizes (including powder) Full range of CTC levels Bulk Bags or 25kg poly-lined paper bags 20ft containers or 40ft containers Production Details: Following carbonization, the coal or coconut shells are "activated" by baking them in an oxygen-free environment. This process expands the surface area of the carbon by producing a multitude of pores and cracks, enabling the absorption rate of the carbon to be greatly increased. Contact: Stephen Horowitz
