The present invention relates to a novel polymer as binder for producing activated
carbon filters. The polymer of the invention is a polyethylene homopolymer and/or
copolymer having a melt flow index (MFI 190/15) of from 1.2 g/10 min to 10 g/10
min, a polydispersity Mw/Mn of from 3 to 30, a bulk density
of from 0.05 g/cm3 to 0.5 g/cm3 and a particle size from
5 m to 300 m.
