The poison filter box is generally divided into two layers. The first layer is the filter layer, and the second layer is the adsorption layer. The adsorption layer can absorb toxic vapors, and the filter layer can filter out poisonous gases. The adsorption layer generally uses activated carbon. This type of activated carbon contains catalysts and chemicals. They are generally coconut shell activated carbon and coal-based columnar activated carbon.

Global respiratory protection equipment data for 2021 shows that the market size is USD 22.72 billion and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2022 to 2033.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"><span style=\"color: #3a3a3a;\">Increasing worker safety awareness and increasingly stringent government regulations are expected to have a positive impact on industry development. In particular, worker safety has gained prominence in various end-use industries. There are various organizations in the United States, such as OSHA, NIOSH, and EPA, that have updated regulations to make them more stringent, forcing companies to provide personal protective equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #3a3a3a;\">3.2 The price of protective carbon<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"><span style=\"color: #3a3a3a;\">The protective carbon series models are not displayed in the import and export data of CALGON, JACOBI and other companies, so some data are deleted from the application vendors as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"><span style=\"color: #3a3a3a;\">1) Based on the purchasing data of 3M, an American protective mask company, the purchased product is steamed bamboo activated carbon from JACOBI Company and CENAPRO of the Philippines<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"><span style=\"color: #3a3a3a;\">CHEMICAL CORPORATION, the price range is around US$3.3~4.5\/kg.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"><span style=\"color: #3a3a3a;\">2) Judging from the purchasing data of the Brazilian branch of the protective equipment company MSA, the purchased goods are STEAM PROCESSED ACTIVATED CARBON.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"><span style=\"color: #3a3a3a;\">Steam-treated activated carbon is purchased from HAYCARB PLC in Sri Lanka, and the price range is around US$6~8.2\/kg.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"><span style=\"color: #3a3a3a;\">Summary: Protective carbon is a type that can be added by impregnation, and there are many types of additions, so the price fluctuates greatly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"><span style=\"color: #3a3a3a;\">From a market perspective, protective activated carbon is not a direct consumer product, nor is it a large single product, so the market data for a single protective activated carbon category is not detailed, but it can be analyzed from the perspective of application prospects:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"line-height: 1.6;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #3a3a3a;\">Protective activated carbon has relatively few applications for regeneration after adsorption and saturation.

<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">UFR grade activated carbon: mainly used in emergency masks for physical and chemical adsorption;</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">FCF activated carbon: used for CBRN, industrial and collective protection, for physical and chemical adsorption;</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">ASZM-TEDA activated carbon: used for industrial and CBRN toxic gases, for chemical adsorption;</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">The more famous military gas masks are: new military gas masks used by the French Air Force, Italian SGE1000 gas masks, Swiss SM3, British FM12, Chinese FMJ05 and American M50 gas masks, etc. Among them, the American M50 gas mask is introduced, which is AVON took 7 years to build and is equipped with 5 branches of the US military. The M50 is equipped with two canisters to replace the M40 mask that has been in service for many years.</span></p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">2.3 Application of activated carbon in ABEK</span></strong></h3>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">People divide ABEK's poison filter boxes and canisters into different levels of 1, 2, 3, and 4 according to the different protection time; and then divide the smoke filter performance into multi-function, ordinary, comprehensive, etc.; in gas masks Due to the limited volume, it is very small when installed in a poison filter tank; on the other hand, it is larger when installed on air ventilation and poison filtration equipment; therefore, specific design and selection can be carried out according to the effect to be achieved;</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">We take Calgon Company's personal protection activated carbon classified products as an example. We can see that the NIOSH filter element classification and the EU EN14387 filter element classification (i.e. ABEK different gas conditions) are listed in the product introduction.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">Let’s take the personal protection activated carbon from Calgon Company in the United States as an example:</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">RVG activated carbon: made of coal or coconut shell charcoal, physically adsorbed;</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">AGR activated carbon: used to protect acidic and organic substances, physical and chemical adsorption;</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">CK activated carbon: used for mercury adsorption, physical and chemical adsorption;</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">BGR activated carbon: ammonia adsorption;</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">URB activated carbon: physical and chemical adsorption, belongs to the comprehensive ABEK category, physical and chemical adsorption;</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">UFR activated carbon: used in emergency masks, physical and chemical adsorption;</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">In summary, ABEK and CBRN are partially universal in the field of protective carbon and in industrial comprehensive gas protection.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"> </p>
<h2 style="line-height: 1.6;"><strong><span style="color: #169179;">3. Prospects of protective carbon in market applications:</span></strong></h2>
<ol style="line-height: 1.6;">
<li><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">Personal gas mask filter box: used in industrial production, home emergency and laboratory scenarios;</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">Used in military poison filter boxes: used by CBRN troops and military in various countries;</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">Air ventilation devices are used in special places for filtration, such as factory buildings, paint rooms, laboratories, nuclear power plants, etc.</span></li>
</ol>
<h3 style="line-height: 1.6;"><strong><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">3.1 Global respiratory protection equipment market</span></strong></h3>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">Protective activated carbon is mainly used in filter devices of respiratory protective equipment, so the protective carbon market mainly depends on the respiratory protective equipment market. Global respiratory protection equipment data for 2021 shows that the market size is USD 22.72 billion and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2022 to 2033.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">Increasing worker safety awareness and increasingly stringent government regulations are expected to have a positive impact on industry development. In particular, worker safety has gained prominence in various end-use industries. There are various organizations in the United States, such as OSHA, NIOSH, and EPA, that have updated regulations to make them more stringent, forcing companies to provide personal protective equipment.</span></p>
<h3 style="line-height: 1.6;"><strong><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">3.2 The price of protective carbon</span></strong></h3>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">The protective carbon series models are not displayed in the import and export data of CALGON, JACOBI and other companies, so some data are deleted from the application vendors as follows:</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">1) Based on the purchasing data of 3M, an American protective mask company, the purchased product is steamed bamboo activated carbon from JACOBI Company and CENAPRO of the Philippines</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">CHEMICAL CORPORATION, the price range is around US$3.3~4.5/kg.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">2) Judging from the purchasing data of the Brazilian branch of the protective equipment company MSA, the purchased goods are STEAM PROCESSED ACTIVATED CARBON.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">Steam-treated activated carbon is purchased from HAYCARB PLC in Sri Lanka, and the price range is around US$6~8.2/kg.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">Summary: Protective carbon is a type that can be added by impregnation, and there are many types of additions, so the price fluctuates greatly.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">From a market perspective, protective activated carbon is not a direct consumer product, nor is it a large single product, so the market data for a single protective activated carbon category is not detailed, but it can be analyzed from the perspective of application prospects:</span></p>
<ol style="line-height: 1.6;">
<li><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">Protective activated carbon has relatively few applications for regeneration after adsorption and saturation. It can be regarded as a disposable consumer product, so the market is sustainable;</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">Protective activated carbon has two functions, one is to adsorb harmful substances, and the other is to detoxify. It can be used in any gas environment that may be harmful to health, and the market scope is relatively wide.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">Protective activated carbon is different from other civilian carbons in that it has relatively high quality requirements, complex application scenarios, and high added value.</span></li>
