Chemviron Carbon is the leading producer of high quality grades of activated carbons used in individual and collective protection whether in warfare or on industrial sites all over the world.
Protection against toxic gases is one of the oldest applications of granular activated carbon. When chlorine and phosgene were used in World War I as military gases, masks and respirators containing carbon were developed to counter this threat.
Today the number of the chemical agents used in warfare and industrial sites has dramatically increased and become more sophisticated. Chemviron Carbon is continuously developing new products to address this threat.
