of filters, detergents, freshing and spraying systems, for example at chemical plants, fish processing factories or garbage and industrial waste storage enterprises. The odour absorber concentrate is often used as an ingredient in personal care products such as deodorants (spray, roll-on, stick), gels and foot creams, intimate hygiene products and even oral care products, like mouthwash or toothpastes. Products made with the odour absorber concentrate received the widest use in household applications in detergents, especially against smell of tobacco and animals, fabric treatments, fresheners of clothes and shoes, upholsteries, curtains, carpets and the interior of cars, and also in detergents for laundry, especially sportswear. The odour absorber concentrate can be applied to liquid kitchen soaps as well as for pet shampoos. In some cases, the odour absorber concentrate effectively neutralises unpleasant odour of components in mixtures, for instance thioglycolic acid in products for depilation, permanent waves or hair straightening. These examples show the universal range of applications of these products.


Conclusion


Summarising all the above, it can be clearly concluded that Polyfix products from Schill+Seilacher GmbH are the most effective absorbers of a wide range of unpleasant odours that will not affect perfumes. These concentrates of activated zinc ricinoleate are cold processable and can be easily incorporated into various types of systems. Products are environmentally friendly whereas Polyfix ZRC 25 GP, Polyfix ZRC 25 MB and Polyfix ZRC 25 EC are COSMOS approved.
