Description
What is CTC 55?
CTC stands for Carbon Tetrachloride Activity, a measure of how much carbon tetrachloride vapor the carbon can adsorb under standard testing conditions. A CTC value of 55% is indicative of high-quality activated carbon with a strong capacity to adsorb gases and vapors. It is a key metric used in air purification, solvent recovery, and gas-phase treatment processes.
