taps™ odor countervailant™
formula
for a broad
spectrum of odors
The sophisticated chemistry of this
product makes it the most fail-safe formula we offer.
It is supplied as a concentrated liquid, and has a mild
"soapy" smell in diluted form. Dilution rates are
dictated by odor intensity. Start at 150:1, water
to product, and adjust from there. We have
included the next paragraph for those of you who are interested
in the technical story behind this product.

Malodorous molecules
contain one or more chemically reactive groups
called osmophores. Countervailing reactions
with these groups are varied, but are most commonly
electrostatic and/or polymeric. The worst
odors have the strongest negative charges, which are
drawn to the positive charges of the Countervailant
chemistry. The union either facilitates a
chemical reaction or creates a large molecule of low
vapor pressure. A homo-polymer lattice forms
around reacted or absorbed molecules and osmophoric
activity ceases.

The price per gallon of this formula
and
the neutralizing product is two or three times that
of masking agents (perfumes). Masking agents try to
drown out a bad smell with a good one. Their dilution
rates are much lower so the cost to you is
about the same - maybe higher. There is an additional
benefit. Taps™ products actually work!
