How We Make It
Our Manufacturing Process
From raw coconut shells and coal to premium activated carbon — every step controlled and certified.
Raw Material Sourcing
Premium coconut shells from Southeast Asia, select anthracite coal from Ningxia and Shanxi provinces.
Carbonization
Raw materials carbonized at 600–800°C in oxygen-free rotary kilns to form char with initial pore structure.
Steam Activation
Char activated at 900–1100°C with controlled steam flow, creating the extensive micropore network.
Quality Control
Every batch tested for iodine value, surface area, hardness, ash content, and moisture before release.
Packaging & Export
Custom packaging in jumbo bags or smaller units. Expert export team handles all documentation and logistics.
