Description
Activated carbon has special properties that allow it to remove VOCs, odors and other pollutants in the air. We sell these in bags large enough for a full stealthmax (and multiple refills of a smaller nevermore) vacuum sealed to prolong life. You can use this in your nevermore filters, or any other filtration to remove VOCs and odors from 3D printing. Zephyr contains mixed 60 Notus / 40 Boreas media blend specially formulated for use with 3D printers and Notus is activated alumina with 8% KMn04 which helps chemically neutralize certain reactive gases.
| Media | What it is | Best use | Main benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Notus | Activated alumina beads infused with potassium permanganate, often listed as 8% KMnO₄ | Targeting more chemically reactive gases/odors from hotter or smellier materials | Chemisorption/oxidation: it does more than just “hold” some contaminants; it can chemically react with certain gases |
| Zephyr | A premixed blend of Notus + Boreas activated carbon; West3D lists it as 60% Notus / 40% Boreas | General 3D printer VOC/odor filtration, especially Nevermore-style filters | Balanced “all around” media: carbon adsorption + KMnO₄/alumina chemistry in one bag |
Acid washed carbon can rust your equipment, because of this Nevermore Approved Carbon are not acid washed. These are available in 2.15L / 73oz bags.
This certified Zephyr and Notus Carbon has been vetted to provide maximum filtration for 3D printing environments.
Please note, the activated carbon helps but no product on the market today completely removes VOCs - please continue to follow safe printing habits.
