Widest carbon textile cloth available
Mast Carbon Advanced Products, the specialist developer of activated carbon textiles, has increased the width of its standard activated carbon cloth to 1.4metres
Standard grades of C-tex are manufactured from knitted, woven or felted viscose rayon through a high temperature carbonisation and activation process.
C-tex is entirely composed of activated carbon filaments in a textile form, the result is an activated carbon content of 100%, making C-tex 70% more adsorptive (weight for weight) than its carbon loaded textile rivals.
"C-tex offers great advantages over granules and powders in many applications" comments Andy Blackburn, Managing Director of MAST Carbon Advanced Products: "The C-tex matrix improves adsorption rates, ensuring less product is required to equal granular performance: In the majority of applications, this results in smaller and lighter adsorption equipment, bringing cost savings and significant performance benefits for the OEM and the end-user".
Numerous types and grades of C-tex can be mass produced to suit different application requirements at the MAST hi-tech production facility in Plymouth, with laminating, cutting and converting facilities also available.
In addition to manufacturing standard and bespoke activated carbon textiles, MAST Carbon Advanced Products also provide extensive services in design, consultancy, product and applications development to research and industry.
