Product Overview
LC-A0 S is an acid-washed coconut shell granular activated carbon engineered for chloride-sensitive and pH-critical water applications. Manufactured from premium coconut shell through carbonization, steam activation, and extended acid washing, it achieves a pH of 5–8 with ash content below 3% while maintaining an iodine adsorption value exceeding 1000 mg/g and specific surface area above 1000 m²/g.
The acid-washing protocol removes soluble ash and alkaline residues, delivering low-extractable performance that protects downstream equipment from conductivity spikes and pH excursions. With NSF 61 certification, drinking water approval, and food production licensing, LC-A0 S is qualified for point-of-use filtration, semiconductor rinse water, and electroplating bath maintenance where both purity and pH stability are non-negotiable.

Key Application Areas
- Point-of-Use (POU) Drinking Water — Fits undersink and countertop filters to remove chlorine, taste, and organic contaminants while delivering pH-neutral effluent that protects residential plumbing and consumer health.
- Semiconductor Ultra-Pure Water — Polishes deionized water for wafer cleaning and wet processing, where low extractable content and stable pH prevent process contamination and yield loss.
- Condensate & Process Water — Treats recovered steam condensate and industrial process loops to remove organic carryover without introducing ionic contamination that could foul boilers or heat exchangers.
- Food & Beverage Processing — Purifies ingredient water for breweries, soft drink bottling, and food manufacturing, meeting direct-contact safety standards with minimal leachable content.
- Electroplating Bath Circulation — Maintains bath chemistry stability by adsorbing organic impurities without altering pH or introducing metallic contaminants that affect deposit quality and adhesion.
Key Advantages
- Acid-Washed pH Neutrality: pH 5–8 eliminates alkaline drift common in standard coconut shell carbons, reducing the need for post-treatment pH correction in sensitive POU and electronics systems.
- Ultra-Low Ash & Leachables: <3% ash and reduced extractable content minimize conductivity spikes and trace metal introduction, protecting semiconductor processes and plating baths.
- High Coconut Shell Purity: Natural coconut shell hardness (>95%) and low inherent metals support consistent long-term performance in critical water systems without premature breakdown.
- Multi-Industry Certification: NSF 61, drinking water, and food-grade approvals eliminate regulatory barriers across residential, electronics, and food industry procurement.
