I just finished playing with the activated carbon.
Yes its here in Calgary at my warehouse downtown location.
I will have some more time on Sunday to put the specifications on the carbon given by the manufacturer.

I was wondering the same thing. NORIT, the company that makes ROX for BRS has the technical info listed on their site for the 0.8 http://www.norit-americas.com/norit-rox08.html, but there is no mention of any 1.3?????

Here are some information on the activated carbon we carry.

The product is originated in the UK and brought directly from there.
It is sold to us a stage prior to the Rox 0.8 (rated stage 1-3)
The carbon hasn't gone through the extrusion as the above activated carbon, that said is what gives our product the higher surface area of over 1600 m2/g,is granular in shape very low dust and still of below 0.8mm in size.
I hope that helps answer and clarify some of the questions you require.

So is this ROX 1.3 actually a NORIT product?

Ok a little secret for every distributor or manufacturer out there there are always partial or whole of the product brought in from another country that goes through a slight stage changes to be able for distribution here in Canada or the US.(and its up to us to find those countries and their regulations for importing)
Another words the activated carbon i carry is labeled Rox 1.3 not imported from Norit USA nor Norit Canada.Simply because the price per lb would jump significantly to over $30/lb for a pallet size of approximately 2400lbs that is with no profit margin landing anywhere in Canada.

The price is really good, no argument there. We need a good product review!

That sounds like some prime stuff at a great price. I'm still sitting on about 5 lbs of a BRS fine lignite carbon but I've made a mental note to try this out when I need to stock up again.

Eli, can you please simply state the main differences between your product and BRS ROX 0.8. I love the 0.8, it's an amazing carbon, powerful, clean, and almost dust free.
