An engineered material consisting of micro-sized particles that capture and physically bind odor-causing compounds or catalytically convert them into non-odorous molecules.
Stinkiness is a part of everyday life and can cause embarrassment and unwanted attention. Traditional odor control solutions such as air fresheners, activated carbon, baking soda, antimicrobials or other complex chemical systems all have a number of limitations. We’ve accepted those limitations because these products usually help lessen the stink and make it more bearable. We didn’t know any better...until now. UltraTech’s new product is an odor removal solution (notice how we said "removal" and not "control") that meets our customers’ needs while laughing in the face of these challenges. Over 12 years of research and product development by Kimberly Clark, the inventors, and UltraTech, have resulted in an innovation we call Aveho® Odor Removal Technology based on the Latin word ‘aveho’, which means "to remove or carry away." WHAT IS IT? Aveho Odor Removal Technology is an engineered material consisting of micro-sized particles that capture and physically bind odor-causing compounds or catalytically convert the odor molecules into non-odorous molecules. Impressive huh? For those of you technically-challenged folks out there, here’s a translation: Aveho is really cool, really tiny stuff that makes stink go away forever! HOW DOES IT WORK? Aveho® Odor Removal Technology mimics processes found in nature, where there are strong bonds between metal atoms and amino acids. These amino acids can break down to form numerous odors. Aveho interacts with these odors through its natural tendency to bind with nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur (the smelliest stuff in the world). This interaction removes the odors from the air.
