HiCarb from Purifaction Products is designed to be used in the protection of sealed enclosures and electrical housings. Grades are also available with acid gas adsorption capacity and an anti-formaldehyde active paint will soon available for household application to combat sick building syndrome (SBS). High surface area carbons are also available for use in fuel cell separators and hydrogen storage devices.
The HiCarb material has an efficacy of 90% of the loose activated carbon and depending upon the other properties required, can have a typical air permeability of 10 cm3/cm2/s @ 980Pa. The material’s conductivity is between 1k Ohms and 10M Ohms and can be varied incrementally if required.
The material is available in rolls up to 350mm wide and can be provided either as self supporting (without a backing) or with a backing suitable for the application involved. Currently the thickness range of HiCarb is between 0.2mm (self supporting) and 2mm.
