The primary purpose of clay treatment is to protect aviation fuel filtration systems and jet fuel by removing trace quantities of surfactants (surface active agents), color and additives commonly found in fuel.
Facet's specially selected Attapulgus clay greatly resists water saturation and provides maximum surfactant adsorptivity and filtration area found in clay treater cartridges.

- Greatly resists water saturation
- Vibra-packed clay minimizes settling
- Interchangeable with other manufacturer's bag and canister clay treater cartridges
