This product is capable of quickly decomposing tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, and other VOCs to environmental standards. This product is also capable of dissolving degradation products such as -1,2-dichloroethylene and chloroethylene.
The surface of our MSI-N901T iron powder is coated with a hydrogenation catalyst to increase the speed of VOCs decomposition by the two effects.

Characteristics of MSI-N901T
Excellent Decomposition Performance for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Economic Advantages
Utilizing our expertise in still mill technologies, we have developed an advanced material that requires minimal additives to function. This product is also less expensive than conventional VOC decomposition iron powder.
Excellent Usability
This product can be used in various methods such as mixing into soil, purification walls, and high-pressure, in-ground injection and agitation.
This product is also effective in purification of groundwater as well as soil.
Other Characteristics
- High reactivity due to the use of High-purity iron
- Verified safety - Contains no heavy metals or other regulated substances
- Produces minimal dust and easy to handle
