Activated Carbon - High Density Skeleton
Substance description: A porous, amorphous, high surface area adsorbent material composed of largely elemental carbon, with a high skeletal density.
(Activated carbon with a high density skeleton is produced by charring and activation with steam or other gases, of various raw materials such as coconut shells, wood, peat, lignite, bituminous coal, synthetic sources and semi-anthracite.)

Classification: Either one of the following classifications may apply:
- not classified
- classified as STOT RE 2, if the Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) content is between 1 and 10%.
