Vapor Phase Filtration

FCI VPF, coconut shell activated carbons, are a series of products best suited for air purification purposes. The superior hardness of coconut shell activated carbons lead to a better physical cleanliness and longer life expectancy.

All products are manufactured from selected coconut shell thus giving them a high adsorptive capacity that is well suited to all vapor phase applications such as solvent recovery.
