Global coconut activated carbon from company-owned manufacturing
Black Opal Carbons, formerly Indocarb AC LLC, manufactures and exports coconut shell activated carbon from India for water treatment, gold recovery, air and gas, oil and gas, and industrial purification applications.
Established manufacturing continuity under the Black Opal name
