Carbodrakon - special activated carbon pellets 3 mm

Special activated carbon pellets for aquariums and animal care

For the rapid removal of medication residues, yellow and toxic substances

For Carbodrakon uses a specially produced activated carbon quality that has been optimised for use in the treatment of water in aquariums and in the seawater sector. The pellet shape (Ø 3 mm) ensures easy handling and good flow. The combination of a highly developed surface of high purity with an almost neutral pH fulfils all the requirements necessary for safe use in the desired scenarios, such as cold and warm water aquariums in fresh and sea water as well as for commercial fish and coral farming. The high purity of this material also ensures negligible leaching of phosphate (often the cause of excessive algae growth).

Properties and advantages

  • Fast adsorption kinetics
  • High purity
  • Negligible phosphate release
  • Neutral surface pH value
  • Rapid pH stabilisation
  • Very high abrasion resistance
  • Low carbon losses
  • Uniform activation of the pellets
  • Extruded material
  • Low dust content

Specification

  • Iodine value: min. 900 mg/g
  • Ash content: max. 6 %
  • Moisture content: max. 5 %
  • Bulk density: 480 - 550 kg/m³
  • Ball cup hardness test: min. 95 %
  • pH: 5 - 7 *

* The manufacturing process used to produce the high degree of purity of this activated carbon results in a slightly acidic pH value of this product as supplied. We strongly recommend that you rinse the activated carbon with approx. five times the volume of water before use. This will balance the pH of the carbon and the water.

Typical properties

  • Surface area (BET N₂) 1000 m²/g
