Various odoriferous gases like acetic acid,
formaldehyde, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide etc.
could be generated during normal photo-processing. These odors
can quickly saturate the air since most ventilation systems only
recirculate room air and remove large particulate matter such as
dirt, dust, and lint. Noxious odors are left free to recirculate
in the air you breathe. Over time, they could increase in
concentration and result in serious indoor air pollution
problems e.g. sick building syndrome. This could lead to
complaints from customers as well as employees and OSHA
fines.
According to the EPA, "indoor pollution can be as
much as 100 times greater than outdoors." Since most people
spend close to 90% of their time indoors, indoor air pollution
poses a serious health risk. Medical problems that have been
associated with poor indoor air quality include dizziness,
headaches, eye nose or throat irritation, dry or itchy skin,
nausea, shortness of breath, difficulty in concentrating,
fatigue, sensitivity to odors, allergies, depression, and
chronic illnesses.
The Solution
The Smelleze™ Photo
Deodorizer Pouch was specially developed to adsorb, neutralize,
and encapsulate unpleasant photographic odors on contact. It
will eliminate odoriferous gases like acetic acid, formaldehyde,
ammonia, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide which could be
emitted from photographic processors. Smelleze™ will truly
cleanse the air of tough photo odors and complement existing
ventilation systems. This will be appreciated by customers,
employees, and improve your image.
It's No Cover-Up
The Smelleze™ Photo Deodorizer Pouch is a natural deodorizer
that can be used to eliminate noxious and unpleasant
photographic odors instead of merely masking them with
fragrances. Smelleze™ is negatively charged whereas odoriferous
gases ride on positively charged particles. As a result,
Smelleze™ draws in photo-processing odors like a strong magnet.
Thereafter, it traps, neutralizes, and encapsulates the odors
without smelly cover-ups. The molecular structure of Smelleze™
is made up of a lattice structure arranged to form a honeycomb
framework of billions of interconnecting channels. This gives
Smelleze™ an enormous surface area that is larger than several
football fields. The latter enables Smelleze™ to adsorb
phenomenal amounts of photographic odors and work for months.
Environmentally Friendly
The Smelleze™ Photo
Deodorizer Pouch is non-toxic, safe, non-hazardous, natural,
non-scented, and non-caustic. It is an ideal environmentally
friendly solution for eliminating photographic odors without
adding pollutants to the air employees breathe and improving
indoor air quality. Smelleze™ does not contain chemical
additives and is especially beneficial for those suffering from
chemical sensitivity.
Applications
Smelleze™ can be
effectively used by all types of photo-processing facilities to
eliminate odors. Typical applications include:
-
Graphic
Arts Prepress Areas
-
Photo-processing Areas
-
Mini
Labs
-
X-Ray Labs
-
Reprographic Companies
-
Dark
Rooms
-
Motion Picture Labs
-
Chemical Mixing & Storage
Areas
-
Any Other Area With Photographic Odors
Directions
For a breath of fresh
air, simply remove the plastic cover, place Smelleze™ pouches
adjacent to processors, replenishment tanks, photochemical
mixing areas, or in any other area to treated, and smell the
difference. Use one or more pouches for every 400 square feet.
This product will function most efficiently in an enclosed area
with good air circulation. To obtain the best results, eliminate
the odor sources (e.g. spills and open containers) and clean the
affected area prior to treating with Smelleze™. For extra
effectiveness, this product may be used in conjunction with
Smelleze™ General Purpose Deodorizer Granules and Powder.
Rejuvenating, Reusing & Recycling
The Smelleze™ Photo Deodorizer Pouch may be reused repeatedly after periodically rejuvenating them. Rejuvenate the
pouches weekly until a noticeable decrease in odor is detected. Thereafter,
rejuvenate them every 3-4 months or when odor levels increase. To rejuvenate,
simply heat the pouches in a microwave 2-4 minutes or place in direct sunlight
for a day and reuse.
The number of times Smelleze™ can be rejuvenated and its actual life span
will depend on the odor concentrations, temperature, humidity and velocity of
air flow it is exposed to. Replace the pouches every 3-4 months or when rejuvenation
eventually fails to work.
As a precaution, do not rejuvenate the Smelleze™ in a microwave if they
have been exposed to a hazardous or toxic substance. It is better to be safe
and to rejuvenate the pouch outdoors in direct sunlight where is plenty of ventilation.
Unused Smelleze™ odor control media or used media that has not been exposed
to hazardous substances can be recycled by removing this material from the pouch
and applying to gardens, flower beds, yards, fields, potting soil and plant
beds with thorough watering. It will act as a slow release fertilizer and help
retain soil moisture.
Disposal
The unused
Smelleze™ Photo Deodorizer Pouch is non-hazardous and
environmentally safe. However, this may change if it is exposed
to hazardous or toxic substances. Used Smelleze™ should be
disposed according to all relevant local, state, and federal
regulations.

When you purchase the
Smelleze™ Photo Deodorizer Pouch, you do so at absolutely no
risk. It comes with a 100% satisfaction guaranteed warranty. If
