GC A-40
Pelletized Activated Carbon
GC A-40 is a virgin activated carbon. Derived from bituminous coal, it is pelletized in form. Its superior activity and surface area make it ideal for most vapor phase applications. The uniformity of its shape makes it particularly attractive in applications where low pressure drop is a consideration.
