We believe that customers should always get the best product. To ensure this we have set up a very sophisticated and well equipped facility. The lab operates as an integral part of the production facility ensuring a continuous monitoring of the product and process at all stages of manufacturing and dispatch. Highly qualified and trained staff operating round the clock ensures the best carbon meeting all the specs every time on time. The facilities are equipped to carry out all the test procedures prescribed by ASTM,JIL,AARL and NSF specifications. We also have tie ups with other Monitoring agency facilities to do any specific tests the customer may request us to perform.
We have our own laboratory with extensive capabilities located at the factory in Coimbatore
Quality Standards
- American Standard Testing Method (ASTM)
- AWWA
- IS
- JIS
The laboratory conducts both routine activated carbon analysis and application development studies. Our objective is to conduct any type of product development research to assist industries with their applications.
Primary Testing Capabilities
We have the capability to conduct all standard tests relating to activated carbon such as
- particle size
- iodine number
- ash content
- moisture content
- apparent density
- CTC Activity
- Ball PanHardness
We use these tests to ensure the best possible products are supplied to our customers.
Additional Testing Capabilities
Other tests that we carry out include gold adsorption kinetic testing and sugar decoupaging trials. The outcome of these trials will assist in selecting the most suitable carbon for a specific application.
