How Airfresh works:
Materials treated with Airfresh help to improve the indoor air.
Through catalytic reduction, harmful substances
in the air inside a room are transformed into completely harmless
matters, namely carbon dioxide and water
Formaldehyde:
Formaldehyde is invisible and has no smell. Even if you do not
notice it in a room, it is nevertheless always present. It is
a chemical found in countless everyday objects such as furniture
and other products made of wood but also in insulating materials,
paints etc.
Formaldehyde is also released in cigarette smoke and automobile
exhaust fumes.
A high concentration of formaldehyde can cause headaches and
allergic reactions. Therefore a reduction of this harmful substance
serves one's well-being, it is beneficial to one's health.
Ammonia:
Olfactory nuisances, which are produced both by kitchen smells
or pet odours and by rubbish and faeces, are a result of ammonia.
Within a short time materials treated with Airfresh are able
to eliminate most of these nasty smells.
Acetic acid / Acetaldehyde
The smell of nicotine is one of the most unpleasant smells in
a room. Acetic acid and acetaldehyde are the components in the
air which are mainly responsible for the smell of nicotine. By
reducing these substances, the air can be considerably improved.
The decisive thing is that the textile that has been treated with Airfresh does not store these harmful substances but is able to break them down, i.e. they do not remain in the air or in the textile but are transformed into harmless matters.
Frequent washing is not detrimental to the effectiveness of Airfresh. Even after 20 washes, the catalytic function is still active.
IMPORTANT: flame-retardant materials made from Trevira CS can be treated with "Airfresh" without impairing their flame-retardant properties.
