Industrial workers must be protected from chemical, biological, and radiological materials, as health effects due to Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) become regulated. Jacobi offers a variety of specialty carbons for first responders, industrial workers and collective protection devices (vehicles, control rooms and other industrial settings), including a range of chromium-free materials, in our AddSorb and PICATOX families.
Collective Protection
Activated carbon is the principal means of protection against chemical warfare agents (CWAs) in military applications. Jacobi provides numerous specially impregnated grades in full compliance with current military regulations, including chromium-free formulations. Applications include individual respirator devices and collective protection systems for vehicles and shelters. A full range of products within our AddSorb and PICATOX families can meet every challenge for military applications.
