Before matching

Documents to check

  • CAS number, grade, assay, and impurity profile
  • SDS, COA, TDS, HS code, and transport classification
  • Destination-market import documents before supplier matching
Package and route

Packing notes

  • Standard packing reported: 25 kg bag
  • Bulk bag option reported: 500 kg bag
  • Palletized or non-palletized packing should be specified in RFQ

Applications and sourcing options

Check whether this product fits the buyer's actual application.

Clear application, grade, package, and document notes help separate real sourcing demand from a vague price check.

Use context

Common applications

  • Industrial water and wastewater adsorption media sourcing
  • Drinking water treatment media evaluation where certified grade is required
  • Taste, odor, and color reduction media procurement
  • Sugar decolorization and amine purification grade comparison
  • Gold recovery carbon sourcing with hardness and iodine value checks
  • Filter cartridge and water purifier media supply
  • Swimming pool, aquarium, and pond filtration media sourcing
  • Gas-phase or waste gas adsorption evaluation, subject to correct grade selection
How we compare

Sourcing options

  • Coconut shell GAC with higher hardness for gold recovery or water filtration applications
  • Coal-based GAC for industrial water and general adsorption uses
  • Higher iodine value grade for stronger adsorption performance requirements
  • Lower-cost mid-range iodine grade for bulk industrial applications
  • 8x30 mesh or 12x40 mesh for common liquid-phase filtration systems
  • 30x60 mesh or 30x80 mesh where finer particle size is required
  • 25 kg export bags for distributor resale or manual handling
  • 500 kg jumbo bags for bulk industrial consumption
Human review

Compliance notes

  • Request COA matching the exact batch, including iodine value, ash, moisture, pH, particle size, hardness, and apparent density
  • Request SDS in English and confirm CAS 7440-44-0 and HS code before shipment
  • For drinking water or food-related applications, request applicable third-party documents such as NSF-61, ISO, HALAL, KOSHER, SGS reports only if relevant and current
  • Do not assume certification coverage for all grades; verify certificate scope, product name, issuing body, validity, and batch linkage
  • Confirm whether product is non-impregnated activated carbon; impregnated carbon may have different hazard, export, and import requirements
  • Confirm dangerous goods status with supplier, forwarder, and destination requirements; activated carbon can have shipment-specific classification considerations depending on condition and packaging
  • Ask for export documents: commercial invoice, packing list, COA, SDS, certificate of origin, and any destination-specific import documents
  • Confirm moisture control and packaging integrity because dust, fines, and moisture can affect performance and shipment acceptance
