Technical Details & Test Data
- Efficacy Study
Effective Odor Neutralization
VELAFRESH™ ZP is a major advance in odor neutralization. Zinc complexes are wide ly used to neutralize odors caused by sulfides, mercaptans, amines, ammon ia and body odor related mole cules such as isova leric acid and butyric acid
VELAFRESH™ ZP is a new,easier-to-use approach to formulating zinc complexes into personal care products
VELAFRESH™ ZP binds volatile malodor molecules so they cannot be detected by the human nose. The technology has no substa ntive interference with natural perspiration. VELAFRESH™ ZP does not cause skin sensitization or irritation
VELAFRESH™ ZP30 are aqueous solutions of a polyme ric zinc complex. Both prod ucts offer the same benefits from ease-of-use and lack of residualdepos its . The primary differences between the two products are the level of active zinc, the preservative systems, and a slight difference in bio-based content.
VELAFRESH ™ ZP30 offers more concentrated odor neutralization with 3.5% active zinc. Independent labora tory testing confirms that each has comparable performance at equivale nt levels of active zinc
- Stability and Compatibility
Due to its ionic nature, cationic substances can only be tolerated in low concentrations. VELAFRESH™ ZP30 is hydrolytically stable and stable from pH 1 to pH 12.
