Raw Material

UCI with its strategically located facilities has rich reserves of pine based, softwood and babool based wood charcoal. We have recently tapped a rich bituminous coal reserve in the Northern Territory of India. The raw material is carefully screened, with stones and dust carefully removed, before it is sized, to ensure a consistent quality of activated carbon.
