Why ball carbon

Ball carbon is chosen for VOC and odor stages where dust must stay low. Bonded into a flexible mesh it handles like a sheet: cut it to the frame, or have it die-cut to your part.

Where the duty needs the highest carbon load in a given depth, granular carbon mesh reaches ≥80%. Where the space is very shallow, ACF felt works in a millimetre or two.
