APPLICATION DATA
Neusilin® possesses excellent adsorption capacity for its extremely large specific surface area and porous reticulate structure. It can adsorb up to 330% of its own weight and maintains its powdery state. This superior adsorption capacity makes Neusilin® ideal for applications including oily and acne skin treatments.
Neusilin® works to eliminate odor in two ways. It can neutralize odor through making hydrogen bonds with bad odor compounds such as isovaleric acid or through covalent bonding with ammonia and trimethylamine. It can also physically absorb foul odor compounds by trapping them into its highly porous structure.
| Foul odor | Concentration / Amount used | Odor eliminated |
|---|---|---|
| Ammonia | 1,000 ppm / 100 mg 1,000 ppm / 200 mg |
79.5% 96.2% |
| Trimethylamine | 435 ppm / 100 mg | 81.6% |
| Hydrogen sulfide | 697 ppm / 100 mg | 31.4% |
| Isovaleric acid | 262 ppm / 20 mg | 100% |
| Acetic acid | 849.8 ppm / 100 mg | 99.6% |
| Propionic Acid | 382.3ppm / 20mg | 100% |
| N-butyric Acid | 311.8ppm / 20mg | 100% |
