Fast efficacy on major malodors
Itaconix ONZ 105 binds quickly to volatile malodor molecules and prevents them from being detected by the human nose.
Itaconix ONZ 105 neutralize odors caused by sulfides, mercaptans, thioethers, amines, ammonia, foot and body odor.
Works in everyday homecare products
Itaconix ONZ 105 leaves no residues and is easy to formulate into all forms of home care applications, including laundry detergents, carpet cleaners, upholstery cleaners, pet products, hard surface cleaners, bathroom cleaners, and air fresheners.
Independent laboratory testing confirms efficient reduction of body and cat urine odors with both Itaconix ONZ 405 and Itaconix ONZ 105 at an equivalent zinc activity of 0.05wt%.
