When WH Partnership built Chemviron Carbon Cloth Division’s new cleanroom, it was tasked with maximising manufacturing areas, reducing the carbon footprint and energy costs and streamlining the process, all without disrupting existing production.
Chemviron Carbon Cloth Division, based in Durham, UK, manufactures Zorflex Activated Carbon Cloth, used as an active component in a wide range of applications across a variety of market sectors – medical, defence and industrial.
Zorflex activated carbon cloth adsorbs a large volume of organic or inorganic molecules from various gases and liquids and acts as a high purity filter, a method of separation or as a protective layer. For example, it is used in products ranging from sensor protection to filters for ostomy bags and from chemical and biological warfare clothing to wound dressings.
The Cloth Division’s customers include some of the world’s leading medical device companies. In the medical market, Zorflex is used in devices such as advanced wound dressings due to its odour-adsorbing and antimicrobial properties. It is also used in dynamic applications such as ostomy filters where air permeability is required.
