Many environments such as laboratories and industrial plants expose workers to a large number of toxic substances and chemicals which could cause them harm if inhaled or come into contact with skin. With a layer of activated carbon between the clothing it provides an extra barrier for much-needed safety.

Toxic fumes abound in industrial work environments which can be deadly if inhaled in even small quantities. As activated carbon has small pores to capture and neutralize many types of chemical and VOC, it’s ideal for use in large air filtration systems or in specialist masks and respirators.

Layers of porous material present in PPE are able to absorb large amounts of moisture from sweat which controls the temperature of the protective clothing if worn for long periods. This allows workers to be more productive and feel comfortable working in toxic or hazardous environments, as well as inhibiting bacterial growth.

The millions of tiny pores present in activated carbon are capable of capturing the molecules and particles associated with odors. When used in protective clothing such as face masks it can facilitate a better working environment and protect the user from scents caused by organic compounds.
