Odor Neutralizers Vaportek – Everything You Should Know.

Odor Neutralizers Vaportek – Everything You Should Know

Often, people ask whether Vaportek technology masks or truly eliminates unpleasant odors. The answer is simple: Vaportek eliminates organic odors. Traditional odor control relied either on masking odors with heavy perfumes or on desensitizing the olfactory senses of those exposed to the odor. Vaportek odor neutralizers work by combining or pairing selected aromatic oils with unpleasant odors. The result is a significant reduction of the odor or its complete absence.

Masking Odor vs. Odor Neutralization

Masking involves increasing the overall intensity of scent to "cover up" an existing unpleasant odor. This means introducing a new scent that is stronger in perception than the problematic odor we wanted to eliminate. This results in further bombardment of scents that do not contribute to eliminating the source of the primary unpleasant odor.

Neutralization with Vaportek products involves eliminating or making the molecules of unpleasant odor imperceptible at the molecular level through direct counteracting actions with an additional compound, in this case, a special compound of essential oils consisting of plant, floral, and wood extracts. Molecules of unpleasant odor are then altered through chemical interaction, known as scent pairing or encapsulation, into a new molecular form that either no longer smells or is not volatile enough to be detectable. In this way, the molecule of unpleasant odor is reduced to the point of non-existence, as it has been decomposed. When Vaportek’s essential oil compounds are dispersed in the air as a dry vapor, they react directly with odor molecules in the air. This molecular, chemical interaction allows Vaportek products to effectively neutralize organic unpleasant odors.

Do Vaportek Odor Neutralizers Have a Scent?

Yes, Vaportek products utilize pure essential oils. These oils have aromatic properties, such as pine, eucalyptus, orange, and others. Vaportek odor neutralizers have a distinctive scent; however, with proper application, it should not be perceived as very strong. To expedite the dispersal period after treatment, simply open windows and turn on mixing fans.

Why Essential Oils?

While Vaportek indeed introduces an additional scent (which some mistakenly attribute to masking) due to its complex formula of naturally occurring essential oils, it is the complexity of this formula that goes a step further to effectively eliminate the source of unpleasant odor molecules through neutralization technology via encapsulation or scent pairing. Although there are many essential oils, not all are capable of neutralizing organic odors such as smoke, urine, pet odors, mold, or agricultural crop odors. Vaportek has carefully developed the appropriate blend of oils required for effective and permanent elimination of unpleasant odors. This is what makes Vaportek technology so unique. The essential oil formula offers a broad spectrum of neutralization of odor-causing elements such as aldehyde, amine, diamine, sulfide, lactone, carboxylic acid, ester, carbamate, ketone, and other hydrocarbons.

Why Dry Vapor?

Vaportek also distinguishes itself from competitors with its technique of delivering dry vapor, which does not add moisture to the treated area and is otherwise unperceivable beyond the aroma of the essential oils. Vaportek technology does not produce harmful ozone or hydroxyl, does not require the use of fogging equipment, and is not as messy or sticky as gels and sprays. The compounds of the dry vapor have high mobility in the air and are capable of safely penetrating porous substances such as drywall, wood, carpeting, cement, insulation, and other surfaces in a way that competitive products cannot. Moreover, Vaportek odor neutralizers are completely safe and harmless to humans, animals, and plants. In fact, Vaportek products originated in the medical industry and can still be found in hospitals around the world.

Will the Unpleasant Odor Return?

Vaportek products work safely and quickly to remove unpleasant odors, penetrating surfaces in affected areas with a neutralizing, dry vapor that arises from the diffusion of natural aromatic oils in the air. If the source of the unpleasant odor is removed before treatment, the unpleasant odors will not return.
