MICRO-SORB® 8/16 RVM (Regular Volatile Matter) product is a thermally activated, granular Attapulgite mineral that is suitable for a wide range of sorbent and filtration applications. The RVM product has good sorptivity and a high level of particle strength, resulting in lower attrition and fines. MICRO-SORB LVM RVM granular Attapulgite is available in a wide range of sizes and packaging to maximize end-use flexibility.
MICRO-SORBÂ RVM powdered grades are effective as filtration aids in a variety of liquid systems. Filtration systems using MICRO-SORB sorbents are used to filter contaminants from a variety of fuels and oils including jet fuel, kerosene, various non-edible oils, and many others.
