Activated carbon filter
Filter containing activated carbon, used to retain some particles as smoke passes through.
An activated carbon filter is a filter containing activated carbon, generally placed at the end of a roll-up or used in certain smoking accessories. Its role is to allow air to circulate while retaining some of the particles carried by the smoke.
The activated carbon used in these filters is a porous material with a very large internal surface area. This structure enables it to capture certain compounds as smoke passes through the filter.
A widely used accessory
Activated carbon filters are offered by many brands specialising in rolling accessories. They are available in different diameters, lengths and formats to suit various uses.
Different formats available
The most common models are intended for hand-rolled cigarettes, but versions compatible with certain tips, pipes or specific accessories are also available. Dimensions vary depending on the manufacturer.
Activated carbon and filtration
Activated carbon is used in many fields requiring filtration properties. In activated carbon filters, it is integrated between two tips to allow air to pass through while retaining some of the particles present in the smoke.
