GfN-Selco Bamboo Charcoal Powder

1 of 9 products in this brand
GfN-Selco Bamboo Charcoal Powder is made from moso bamboo timber, a sustainable and environmentally friendly material. Bamboo, one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth, regrows from its existing root structure when the culms are cut. The bamboo charcoal is microporous with excellent adsorption properties due to its large specific surface area (200-400 m²/g), making it ideal for use as a deodorizer, purifier, and humidity controller. The bamboo is charred at temperatures above 1000°C, then ground, sieved into various mesh sizes, and packed. The powder consists of pure natural carbon and is not chemically or physically treated for activation.
