OUR BENEFITS

3 benefits the customers can expect by using UNITIKA Carbon filters.
They all derive from the advantages of fibers and its unique production method over common activated carbon materials.

Customized, Compact, Combination

Customized

for your requirements

All our products are custom-made. We offer the filters that solve your challenges with close communication.
Our basic work-flow from inquiry to final specification is as follows.

  1. 1. Understanding Requirements

    Please let us know your application and requirements
    (Target substances, flow rate, filter life, and filter dimension etc.)

  2. 2. Desingning & Prototyping

    We design and provide the initial prototype based on our lab data and 30+ years of experience.

  3. 3. Evaluation / Validation

    You evaluate the prototypes with regard to the adsorption performance and the fitting with your housing case. We will also perform in-house tests to see if the prototype works as designed.

  4. 4. Refining/ Finalizing

    We go through the test results with you and make any necessary adjustments to achieve the performance goal. Once we finalize the specifications, we start preparing the mass production.

Compact

with high performance & high flow rate

By fully utilizing the key features of ACF, the high adsorption efficiency and smooth pass through of air and water due to its fibrous structure,
we design and offer high-performance filters with a small filter volume even at a fast flow rate or in a short contact time, which conventional filters cannot achieve.

e.g. Bottle Application

* Based on UNITIKA's internal testing
The capacity is based on 80% reduction of 2mg/L of free chlorine at 0.8LPM.

Combination

for adding new claims & functions

By combining ACF with ion exchange materials, functional fibers or nonwovens,
we provide filters with additional functions such as heavy metal reduction in water and particle retention in water and air.
Biobased filters that use UNITIKA TERRAMAC® as a component are also available.
Some of our filters and components are certified by NSF, and we offer ODM/OEM filters with resin parts like cases and caps. Please contact us for further information.
