Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are a major concern in many industrial and commercial environments. These organic chemicals easily vaporize into the air, often originating from solvents, fuels, paints, and industrial processes. Without effective treatment, VOCs contribute to poor indoor air quality and can present serious health and environmental risks. Facility managers and engineers need reliable, effective solutions to help mitigate VOC emissions while supporting regulatory compliance and clean air goals.

Introducing CARULITE® 400 Catalyst
CARULITE® 400 catalyst is a high-surface-area catalyst developed by Carus to oxidize VOCs in industrial and commercial air purification systems. Designed for use at ambient or low temperatures in properly configured systems, it facilitates chemical reactions that convert VOCs into safer, more stable byproducts. This flexibility allows it to be used across a wide range of industries and applications.
How CARULITE® 400 Catalyst Supports VOC Mitigation
When VOC-laden air is directed through a properly configured purification unit containing CARULITE® 400, the catalyst initiates chemical reactions that break down VOCs into more stable compounds such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, reducing the concentration of harmful pollutants in the air stream. This catalytic approach offers a durable and efficient solution compared to methods that rely solely on physical collection techniques.
Applications Across Industries
CARULITE® 400 catalyst is widely applicable in sectors that produce or handle VOCs, including:
- Paints and coatings manufacturing
- Chemical processing plants
- Pharmaceutical and life sciences
- Printing and packaging facilities
- Aerospace and automotive industries
These facilities benefit from a catalytic solution that complements their overall air handling and purification systems while supporting adherence to air quality guidelines.
Environmental and Operational Benefits
By facilitating the oxidation of VOCs, CARULITE® 400 helps facilities reduce airborne pollutants and support efforts to meet local and international air quality standards. The catalyst’s high stability and long service life reduce maintenance intervals, helping operators avoid frequent replacement and system downtime.
A Smarter Way to Cleaner Air
Engineered for performance and reliability, CARULITE® 400 catalyst supports a cleaner working environment and enhanced operational efficiency. It provides a proactive way to address VOCs, aligning with modern sustainability and health standards.
