Activated Carbon TDS, Sample COA & Brand Cross-Reference

Q: How do I cross-reference a Calgon, Norit, or Jacobi activated carbon grade?

Start with the four foundational parameters on your current supplier's TDS: raw material base (coconut shell, coal, or wood), particle size distribution (ASTM D2862 mesh or pellet diameter), primary adsorption index (ASTM D4607 iodine number, ASTM D3467 CTC, or methylene blue), and purity/washing treatment (ash, pH, moisture, hardness). Share your current grade name or TDS with our lab to receive a specification-matched DXD sample and batch COA.

Q: What is the difference between a Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and a Certificate of Analysis (COA)?

A Technical Data Sheet (TDS) defines the typical or configurable manufacturing range for a product grade, while a Certificate of Analysis (COA) reports the actual laboratory test results measured on the specific production or shipment batch against your signed contract specification.

Q: Are SDS (Safety Data Sheets) and ocean transport documents provided?

Yes. For every bulk order and sample shipment, DXD Carbon provides the English GHS-compliant Safety Data Sheet (SDS), batch COA, packing list, and required export transport documentation from Chinese main ports.

1. Executive Engineering Summary & Grade Capabilities

Fine wood-based powdered activated carbon (200 mesh / 75 µm and 325 mesh / 45 µm) engineered for rapid liquid-phase adsorption kinetics in batch dosing and municipal water systems.
Configurable via steam activation (neutral/alkaline pH) or phosphoric-acid activation (acidic/washed pH 3–7) with 120–200 mg/g methylene blue and controlled filter cake permeability.
Tested to ASTM D5158 for wet screen fineness and ASTM D4607 for iodine number, with free lab samples provided to verify settling rate and press filterability prior to bulk shipment.

2. Physical & Commercial Profile

3. Configurable Manufacturing Ranges

Iodine value	Typical configurable range: 800-1,050 mg/g
