Carbon cartridges made with Fibredyne™ technology are far more advanced than traditional carbon block cartridges. Benefits of higher flow rates, lower pressure drops, higher treatment capacity and less susceptibility to premature blocking from sediment make them the leading carbon cartridges on the market.The fibres (coated in powdered activated carbon) have a very large surface area to offer increased capacity, more flow paths to allow for increased flow and reduced pressure drop and also create areas where sediment can be trapped.The construction methods used to manufacture Fibredyne™ cartridges allow for a variety of constituents to be incorporated that solve specific application problems. Lead and other heavy metals removal can be targeted, Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts removed and developments that produce no fines or Sulphur release is a particular benefit in electroplating applications. Fibredyne™ technology also enables the use of moulded Santoprene gaskets, meaning no glues are used and the risk of end-caps being left in the housing during cartridge change is vastly reduced..Features & Benefits

Hardness forming ions are kept separated so they cannot precipitate and form deposits when heated
A protective coating is formed on all metal surfaces, protecting against acidity/alkalinity, hardness, chloride turbulence and other factors that affect the corrosion, which leads to ‘rusting out’ of water equipment and pipes.
Dissolved iron, up to 1 ppm, is kept suspended in solution (sequestered), decreasing exposure to air and preventing precipitation, which would cause staining, discolouration and undesirable flavour

Suited to the industrial sector, the lower capacity Core grade carbon block suits batch process, where a longer service life is not required. Manufactured using acid washed bituminous carbon, a highly microporous structure targets larger organic molecules such as benzene. This ensures the removal of ash and reduces rinse-up fines often found with non-acid washed bituminous carbon. Available in 3 micron sizes, the Core grade carbon block offers flexibility to suit different applications where sediment could plug the carbon before service life is achieved.
The PRISM Max grade carbon block is specifically formulated for effective chloramine control and the only cartridge to offer this feature within the range. Having been manufactured within a five-stage process, this exceptional catalytic activated carbon cartridge offers up to 10 times the capacity of the Plus grade. Essential for use in public water supplies where chloramine has been added as the disinfecting agent of choice, the Max grade carbon block will typically be found within applications including aquatics and renal dialysis. Rated at one micron, pre-filtration from the PRISM spun range, such as the Plus grade DSPP at five micron, is recommended to maximise service life and prevent premature blocking.
Widely used and favoured for drinking water treatment and beverage production where chloramines are not present; the Plus grade carbon block is formulated from low ash content, microporous coconut carbon that targets VOCs and THMs. Acid wash during the production process and low fine content give excellent rinse-up times as well as regulating pH and taste. The Plus grade carbon block also gives improved flowrate and lower pressure drop than the Max grade, reducing the size of the housing required, making it a firm favourite for drinking water, pre-RO and applications where end product consumption is a consideration.
The honest answer to a solely price driven market, the PRISM Value carbon block prioritises cost at the sacrifice of chlorine capacity. Specifically designed for industrial batch process applications, where the full capacity of the cartridge is not used, the value carbon block's high binder content results in a strong cartridge with moderate chlorine reduction efficiency.
