CHEMOR ECEPTIO N Absorbzio: The New Malodor Neutralizer WHAT IS ABSORBZIO? Absorbzio is a highly effective deodorant/malodor absorber based on the zinc salt of ricinoleic acid (present in nature in the form of triglycerides in the seeds of various plants such as the castor oil plant) associated with fresh and long lasting aromatic compounds. HOW DOES ABSORBZIO WORK? Absorbzio effectively eliminates malodors derived from ammonia, mercaptan, sulfur, smoke, fish, onion, and garlic through chemical binding. Once a bad odor is absorbed, it will not release, even when the substrate dries. A permanent binding of the odor takes place. WHY ZINC RICINOLEATE? Unique ability to bind to amino nitrogen and mercapto sulfur in active configuration. Superior to cyclodextrin in many ways. With addition of carefully selected fragrance materials enhanced efficacy is achieved. APPLICATION The 3D molecular structure exposes active zinc binding sites in aqueous media. Malodor bonds remain when the system dries. WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED DOSAGE? • The recommended level of use is between 0.5% to 2.0%. However, Absorbzio must be tested in the base to assure maximum efficacy. Property of J. & E. Sozio, Inc. WHAT ARE THE MAIN APPLICATIONS OF ABSORBZIO?
