Flexzorb activated carbon cloth is made from 100% activated carbon, which makes it more effective at adsorption than other carbon loaded materials.

It has a microporous structure that gives rapid adsorption kinetics and the capability to adsorb to a higher level of purity. Unlike granular activated carbons, Flexzorb is less adversely affected by moisture and can be used in applications where there is a high humidity.

It is available in woven and knitted formats and can be tailored to suit client requirements by varying activity levels, weights and thicknesses. Value added composites can be created by laminating the cloth to other materials or impregnating the cloth with chemical treatments.

Typical applications include air conditioning, cabin air filtration, catalyst media, conservation, domestic odour control, electrodes, EMI shielding, emission control, fuel cells, gas sensor protectors and filters, NBC decontamination wipes, NBC protective clothing, socks and gloves, ostomy filters, personal protective equipment, protection of artefacts, purification filters, respiratory masks, sensor protection, solvent recovery, VOC filtration, water filtration, and wound dressings.

Chemviron Carbons Cloth Division is based near Durham in the UK and is one of the leading manufacturers of 100% activated carbon cloth.
