NOTES
1. For important product safety, health, environmental and regulatory information, please refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) which is available upon request.
2. General characteristics reflect representative values of product parameters and are not to be used as purchase specifications.
3. All analyses based on standard test methods and specifications are guaranteed values based on lot-to-lot quality control, as covered by Norit Activated Carbon's ISO 9001 certification
4. Detailed information on the hydrodynamic properties can be found in Technical Bulletin 79 - Hydrodynamic Properties of Norit Granular Activated Carbon grades.
5. The superior hardness makes this product very suitable for thermal reactivation. Reactivation of exhausted carbon can be carried out in kilns on site or at one of Norit's facilities. The best option depends on the distance between client and nearest Cabot facilities and on the amount of carbon to be reactivated per annum.
6. The level of floaters measured according to EN 12915 amounts to Greter than-1 mass-%. Under practical conditions a fraction of the carbon may wet slowly. Please refer to Norit Technical Bulletin 41B
