Chemtech Eco-Fresh

Odors are a major problem in many situations. Air fresheners are generally perfumes that use a strong pleasant smell to mask the bad odor, but they usually work for only a short time and are easily overpowered. A range of chemical odor counteractant technologies have been developed and are now used in major retail brands. However, Chemtech International has taken the best of these technologies and combined it with bacteria, which leads a three-pronged attack on odor problems:

1. The fragrance (already present in the formulated version or added by the customer) helps to immediately reduce the malodor.
2. The benign, biochemical odor counteractant then binds any existing odor molecules, preventing them from being detected by the nose.
3. The application-specific bacteria in the product produce extracellular enzymes that degrade organic matter such as proteins in the application area. The products of this degradation are then taken into the bacteria cells and used for growth. Thus the slow breakdown of these materials, which would otherwise result in the formation of many malodorous compounds, cannot occur and the odor is prevented at the source.
