Activated Carbon Cloth (ACC)

What is Activated Carbon Cloth (ACC)?

Our high-quality activated carbon cloth is an excellent way to get the purification power of activated carbon in a ready to use flexible format. Created from woven carbon fibers specially treated to deliver a high level of adsorption, this clever fabric provides great flexibility so it can be used for applications in ways that our other products like granulated or pelletized activated carbon cannot.

It is lightweight and thin so is perfect for use in equipment that requires only a small amount of the product applied in layers. The product is easy to handle and can be cut into sections as required. Its structure is not affected by excessive amounts of moisture so it can be used in areas experiencing high humidity.

To produce our ACC, we carbonize woven materials such as polyester and rayon at very high temperatures which allows all of the fibers to develop small pores. This process ensures that the surface area of the cloth material is greatly expanded to provide more effective filtration. After the cloth has been carbonized, we refine the porosity by activating it with either chemicals or pressurized steam. Once the carbon cloth has been used multiple times and experiences a reduction in efficacy it can be regenerated and used again, making this an eco-friendly choice.

We offer three varieties of pre-made activated carbon cloth, but we can tailor it to your needs in a range of thicknesses and weights. We can even impregnate the ACC with a variety of common chemicals if you need to remove a specific contaminant from gasses or liquids.

Activated carbon cloth is used in a variety of medical settings and thanks to its breathable surface it is useful in creating specialist sterile bandages and wound dressings. If it is impregnated with microparticles of silver it also becomes a highly effective antimicrobial agent.

Whether its VOC filtration in an industrial setting or in for masks that prevent harmful chemicals from being inhaled, activated carbon cloth is an excellent air purifier. ACC can also be used in a range of masks if it is given antiviral or antimicrobial properties through impregnation with certain metallic salts or chemicals.

Many of our customers opt to purchase ACC due to its superior ability to act as a catalyst support because of its large surface area. It can be used in chemical reactions, to break down contaminants in the air through oxidation, and even in electrochemical reactions because of its excellent conductivity.

Activated carbon cloth has unique abilities that can be harnessed and used in nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) equipment to protect the wearer. It can be manufactured into a wipe to decontaminate surfaces from toxins, as well as being used directly in protective clothing as a layer to allow air to pass through but not the contaminants.
