Activated Carbon Food Grade — FCC Grade

Description

1. Product Overview

Activated Carbon Food Grade — FCC Grade is a high-purity, specially processed adsorbent material engineered for critical purification and decolorization applications in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. It is designed to efficiently remove organic impurities, color bodies, odors, and trace contaminants, ensuring compliance with stringent FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) standards. The product delivers exceptional adsorption capacity, consistent performance, and high batch-to-batch reliability, making it a trusted choice for regulated industries. Its strategic importance lies in its role in safeguarding product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance across global supply chains.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Material Composition: High-purity carbon derived from selected natural carbonaceous raw materials (coconut shell/coal-based variants depending on grade)
• Grade: FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) compliant, food-grade certified
• Physical Form: Fine powder / granular form (customizable based on application)
• Color: Black
• Iodine Value: High adsorption capacity (typically 800–1200 mg/g depending on grade)
• Moisture Content: ≤ 5–10% (standard controlled range)
• Ash Content: Low ash formulation for food-grade applications
• Packaging: 25 kg PP bags / jumbo bags / bulk container packaging available
• Shelf Life: 24–36 months under dry, sealed storage conditions

3. Core Industrial Applications

Activated Carbon Food Grade is widely used across sugar refining, beverage clarification, edible oil purification, citric acid production, and pharmaceutical intermediate processing. It is particularly effective in decolorization, deodorization, and removal of organic micro-contaminants in liquid processing systems. Compared to conventional filtration media, it offers significantly higher adsorption efficiency, faster processing cycles, and improved product yield. Its performance advantage lies in its optimized pore structure, which enhances selectivity and reduces product loss during purification.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Consistent Quality: Strictly controlled manufacturing ensures uniform adsorption performance across batches
• Supply Reliability: Stable production capacity supporting continuous industrial demand
• Logistics Efficiency: Flexible bulk shipping and global export readiness
• Cost Competitiveness: High adsorption efficiency reduces required dosage and operational cost per batch
• Sustainability: Derived from renewable raw materials (where coconut-based), supporting lower environmental footprint
• Technical Support: Full documentation support including COA, MSDS, and application guidance for industrial integration

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): BULK 20 MT
• Loading Capacity: Approximately 20–25 MT per 20’ container (depending on packaging configuration and density)
