Acti-Cel R® is a filter aid developed and patented by the J.R. Schneider Company for use in non-ferrous metalworking and rolling. It is a direct replacement for, and eliminates the health hazards associated with the use of, diatomaceous earth (DE). It is most effective in removing metallic fines, soaps, oxides and other contamination from mineral oil or paraffin based metalworking coolants by both mechanical and chemical processes.
Acti-Cel R is an acid activated cellulose fiber filter aid used in the filtration of mineral or paraffin based aluminum rolling oils. It provides the benefits of both mechanical matrix filtration and specific chemical reactions to produce results far superior to traditional filter aids. When contaminated rolling oil flows through an Acti-Cel R filter cake chemical reactions take place. The acid acts on the aluminum fines, aluminum oxides and aluminum soaps in the coolant to produce Aluminum Citrate, an aluminum salt. These salts adhere to the cellulose fiber and thus are removed from the coolant. The benefit of the acid to salt conversion allows for the removal of sub-micronic particulate that can’t be removed by matrix filtration alone.
Acti-Cel R® has increased Filter Cycle time 5 fold over Diatomaceous Earth (e.g Celite) and Fuller´s Earth (e.g. Tonsil) or Perlite (e.g. Randalite) and Fuller´s Earth. In Foil Mills, Acti-Cel R® has increased Filter Cycle time up to 4 – 5 times, typically.
