Formaldehyde Odor Problems
Formaldehyde, a colorless, pungent-smelling gas, is in
widespread industrial use. Furthermore, it is found in a wide
variety of products e.g. adhesives, carpets, curtains,
cosmetics, dyes, embalming chemicals, explosives, fertilizers,
filters, furniture, fiberboard, fuels, intermediate chemicals,
insulation, upholstery, laminates, leather, lubricants, paints,
papers, plastics, pharmaceuticals, rubber, surface coatings,
photographic products, urethane resins, water softening
chemicals, cigarette smoke, poorly vented gas appliances, etc.
Formaldehyde can be released from many of these products
because it vaporizes at room temperature.
Unfortunately,
most ventilation systems only recirculate room air and remove
large particulate matter such as dirt, dust, and lint. Noxious
formaldehyde 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. Medical problems that have been associated
with formaldehyde exposure include watery eyes, burning
sensations in the eyes and throat, nausea, and difficulty in
breathing. High concentrations may trigger asthma attacks in
people with asthma. There is evidence that some people can
develop chemical sensitivity after exposure to formaldehyde.
Furthermore, formaldehyde is also known to pose a carcinogenic
and mutagenic risk to humans. The health and odor problems
associated with formaldehyde could lead to complaints from
customers as well as employees and OSHA fines.
The
Solution
The Smelleze™ Formaldehyde Absorbent Pouch was
specially developed to adsorb, neutralize, and encapsulate
formaldehyde odors on contact. Smelleze™ will truly cleanse the
air of noxious formaldehyde odors, complement existing
ventilation systems, and create a safer environment.
It's No Cover-up
The Smelleze™ Formaldehyde Absorbent
Pouch is a natural deodorizer that can be used to eliminate
noxious and unpleasant formaldehyde odors instead of merely
masking them with fragrances. Smelleze™ is negatively charged
whereas formaldehyde odors ride on positively charged particles.
As a result, Smelleze™ draws in formaldehyde 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 formaldehyde odors and work for
months.
Environmentally Friendly
The Smelleze™
Formaldehyde Absorbent Pouch is non-toxic, safe, non-hazardous,
natural, non-scented and non-caustic. It is an ideal
environmentally friendly solution for eliminating formaldehyde
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.

Directions
For a breath of fresh air, simply
remove the plastic cover, place Smelleze™ pouches in the 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, remove the odor sources (e.g. open
containers and spills) and clean the affected area prior to
treating with Smelleze™. For extra effectiveness, this product
may be used in conjunction with Smelleze™ Formaldehyde Absorbent
Granules.
Rejuvenating, Reusing & Recycling
The Smelleze™ Pouches 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™ Formaldehyde Absorbent
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.
