VMS Carbon

About VMS Carbon

VMS Carbon supplies steam-activated carbon made from wood, to buyers in India and abroad.

Our main line is wood-based powder and granular carbon made from Babul (Acacia nilotica) wood, which grows widely in Gujarat. Wood carbon is rich in mesopores, so it takes up the large molecules behind colour, taste and odour. Alongside it we supply pellets, and catalytic, impregnated and acid washed carbon.

Together that is about 3,200 tonnes a year of capacity. Every lot is tested for iodine number, methylene blue, hardness, moisture and ash to ASTM, JIS or BIS methods, and ships with its report. Buyers in Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Turkey and the UAE already take our carbon.

Describe your process and we will suggest a grade, send a sample for your own tests, and quote for 25 kg bags, jumbo bags or full containers.
