BAC

Kureha Bead-shaped Activated Carbon (BAC) is a highly spherical activated carbon with petroleum as its raw material.
BAC has various unique features in addition to its original adsorption performance.

Six features of BAC

High fill capability
Due to its high bulk density, BAC is able to achieve high fill density compared to coal-based activated carbon or coconut shell-based activated carbon of the same volume capacity.
High flowability
Due to the high flowability ensured by its spherical shape, BAC reaches all areas of complex-shaped containers.
Low carbon dust
BAC generates less carbon dust due to the bead formation process that does not use binders.
High purity
High purity prevents product contamination.
High strength, high wear resistance
High strength and high wear resistance prevent carbon contamination from BAC.
Narrow particle size distribution
Grades are set by average particle size, providing consistent quality.

Six features are ensured by the proprietary production process.

BAC is produced from the raw material pitch, using an integrated process.
BAC uses the raw material pitch with low metal impurities.
Beads are formed without any binders.
Uniform infusion and activation process on fluidized beds contribute to the consistent quality.
