CARULITE® 500 Catalyst

Product Description

CARULITE® 500 catalyst is a high surface area granular manganese dioxide copper oxide catalyst. It is black and dark brown in color and it is available in a 8 x 14 mesh size.

Applications

CARULITE® 500 catalyst is used to effectively destroy ethylene oxide (EtO) emissions resulting from sterilization of medical equipment and other sources of ethylene oxide. The catalyst converts toxic ethylene oxide, at 150°C to carbon dioxide and water in a recuperative catalytic oxidizer.
