ColorSorbTM HP-120A Features and Benefits

• Decolorising product
Speciality activated carbon for decolorisation duties
• Neutral pH range
• Sustainable raw material
ColorSorbTM HP-120A is effective in the treatment of moderately discolored
• Rapid adsorption kinetics
liquids, food stuffs and chemicals, where processing at a neutral pH range is • Range of particle sizes
necessary. This material has a macroporous structure for efficient adsorption • Quick dispersion in liquids
of higher molecular weight organic substances. The rigorous treatment of this • Food codex compliant
product following activation produces an adsorbent with a surface pH that • Homogenous product
has minimal effect on the liquor being treated. Strict control of the particle
size is used to optimize adsorption kinetics and maintain high filterability. Available Particle Sizes
