Desorption Efficiencies

SKC's Coconut Shell Charcoal sorbent Lot 120 was available for nearly 15 years before it was replaced by Anasorb CSC Lot 2000 in 1996. Lot 2000 is expected to have the same longevity. Lab tests run on Lot 2000 show that its sorbent quality is equal to or better than Lot 120.
