DECARBITE® is a formulated material designed to irreversibly absorb carbon dioxide from atmospheric gasses. Using a manufacturing process developed by P.W. Perkins Co., Inc., this material is a composite of sodium hydroxide fixed to a carrier material, namely naturally occurring inert silica base. Our process forms a granular material of large surface area ideal for rapid quantitative absorption of carbon dioxide. The amount of Sodium Hydroxide in DECARBITE® is high, approximately 90%, and accounts for the aggressive product performance and exceptional capacity for absorption of CO2.
