MetalXtract® Filter Media

    Heavy metal exposure currently represents a serious worldwide health and environmental hazard. Of the 23 commonly classified heavy elements, excessive amounts of lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, chromium, zinc, and copper are of the greatest concern to health, as they frequently result in compromised mental and central nervous system function, alterations in blood composition, nausea and vomiting, damage to organs such as the lungs, kidneys, and liver, and an overall reduced level of energy.

    Periodic Products has developed a series of filtration medias which remove metal ions from water. MetalXtract® Filter Media uses the power of Chelok to isolate and eliminate metal ions, including lead, mercury, and rare earth elements from water with a wide range of pH.  Chelok Technology uses second order kinetics to rapidly remove ions at a higher rate and with a higher capacity than current ion exchange resins.
