MB-5™ Filter Media (BHO Extraction)
MB‑5 is a neutral pH activated bentonite clay designed to effectively remove color bodies and heavy metals while maintaining a fast flow and low risk of clogging. With a strong clay structure and optimized particle capture, MB‑5 is ideal as the bottom layer in filter beds—trapping both fine particles and larger contaminants. Cost-effective and highly efficient, it delivers full-cycle performance with better flow than traditional clays.
MB-5 is a type of activated bentonite clay that is pH neutral, highly efficient, and cost-effective. It flows quickly and is less likely to clog compared to other powders. MB-5 is mainly used for removing color and heavy metals. Its strong clay structure and optimized surface make it perfect for capturing both fine particles and larger molecules. This clay is often used as the bottom layer in filter beds to prevent smaller particles from reaching the filter element.
