Help rid areas of smoke and smoke odors.

“Tobaccut the Cigarette and Cigar Smoke Removal”

It can help destroy and neutralize cigarette smoke and it's offensive odors.
NOTHING drives customers out of your establishment FASTER than a room full of
CIGARETTE OR CIGAR SMOKE!!! Cigarette / Secondhand Smoke

Secondhand smoke is a combination of the smoke emitted from a burning

cigarette, cigar, or pipe, and the smoke exhaled by the smoker. Also known as
environmental tobacco smoke, it can be easily recognized by it's distinctive odor.
Secondhand smoke contaminates the air and is retained in clothing, curtains and
furniture. To many, secondhand smoke is unpleasant, causing symptomatic irritation
of the eyes and nose. More importantly it also represents a significant health hazard.
Of the more than 4,000 different chemicals found in secondhand smoke, over 40 have
been shown to cause cancer. Although second hand smoke is a danger to everyone,
children are particularly vulnerable. Exposure to secondhand smoke decreases lung
efficiency and impairs lung function in children of all ages. It also increases both the
frequency and severity of childhood asthma. It can aggravate sinusitis, rhinitis, cystic
fibrosis, and chronic respiratory problems such as cough and postnasal drip.
Children exposed to secondhand smoke will also suffer from more colds and sore
throats. Those children whose parents smoke half a pack a day or more are at nearly
double the risk of hospitalization for a respiratory illness. Tobacco smoke can also
have harmful effects on your property and valuables. It contains tar, which adheres to
walls, furniture, carpets, clothing and other articles with large surface area. This can
damage your valuable possessions at the same time as leaving an unsightly film of
liquid tar.

“The good news is that Tobaccut will remove not only the
smell of cigarette smoke, but also the harmful chemicals that
it contains”

Tobaccut is a new odour adsorption type of deodorant and antiodour designed to

eliminate noxious odour causing constituents in acidic alkaline and neutral gases.
Tobaccut is extremely effectively on a wide range of offensive smells & toxic gases.
Tobaccut is a functional finishing agent for all woven, knitted and non woven textiles
i.e. apparel, decorative (home textiles), industrial & functional & aesthetic textiles. It
is employed as a deodorant/antiodour agent especially for eliminating tobacco
smoke & other gaseous odours.
 3
Features:

Eliminates major odour causing components in tobacco smoke i.e.

acetaldehyde formaldehyde, ammonia, trimethylamine, hydrogen sulfide,
methyl mercaptan, & acetic acid. Among all the aldehydes, acetaldehyde &
formalin are difficult to eliminate by conventional deodour ants & masking
agents because of their very low boiling points. Tobaccut works very
effectively even on acetaldehyde & formaldehyde.

It eliminates toxic constituents in cigarette smoke & other gaseous fumes.

Tobaccut is effective on acidic gases (acetic acid) & basic gases (Nicotine,
ammonia)

Tobaccut imparts durable deodorant effects on all textiles, stable to multiple
cycles of dry cleaning & home laundering.

Active components in Tobaccut are ecologically safe & environmentally
friendly. It is safe in handling & in use.

Tobaccut does not exhibit any negative influence on acute oral toxicity tests,
skin patch test (skin irritation & sensitization) & mutagenicity tests.

Tobaccut is thermally stable upto 200ºC i.e. finish is stable to high curing
temperatures.

Tobaccut is compatible with nonionic & anionic bath auxiliaries application.

Applications:
Tobaccut is best applied by padding or spraying. It may also be used by dipping
methods i.e. drum washers, winches. However being weakly anionic. Tobaccut is not
exhaustible based on fibre type and fabric construction a pad bath dosage of 7% to
15% is normally optimum to achieve desired results.

Note:

On light weight fabric, (80~150 gsm) a dry add on of 3% to 6% on weight of
fabric is sufficient.

On heavier fabric (200~400 gsm) a dry add on at 2.5 to 5% on weight of fabric
is sufficient to achieve desired benefits.

Example
Substrate : 100% Polyester 130 gsm
Dosage : 100 gm/l Tobaccut
Pad with 100% pick up
Dry 1050C x 3 min.
Cure 1800C x 1 min.

Tobaccut Series:

More effective to major Odors with less efficacy to Aldehydes Odors By

Tobaccut Active Component-1

More effective to Aldehydes

Odors By Tobaccut Active Component-2 versions

Adsorbed odors (gases):

Major odors like Ammonia, Hydrogen Sulphide, Methymercaptane, Trimethylamine
and Valeric acid, Phenol, NOx, Aldehydes & others

Features:

Designed to perform odor complexing mechanism by adsorption

No color change caused by odors adsorbed by the active component

No release of odors once complexed due to atomospheric/temperature
changes, till heated to the odor decomposition level

Tobaccut Active Component-1 resistant to 500ºC suitable for wide range of
applications

Durable to many washings designed to release odours during laundering to
recover odor complexing efficiency without saturation points

Effective to eliminate odors acidic (- ionized) and in basic (+ ionized) gaseous
odours with weaker efficacy to non polarized gases.

Tobaccut Active Component-2 Odors [Gases] Catching Mechanism

Composition : Silicate dioxide + organic amine compound

To catch such odors like formaldehyde, aceto-aldehyde by amine compound and
basic odors like ammonia and others by silicate dioxide

Features:

Same as Tobaccut Active Component-1, but amine compound attached to
silicate dioxide particles catch more effectively non polarized gas odors such as
formaline and acetoaldehyde

Heat resistance to 210ºC max.

More effective to cigarette odors, house sick syndrome

Mechanism:
Ionic catching basic odor in (+) by Si-O- silanol radical
Chemical reaction catching aldehydes odors in non-polar by amine compount which
is ethanol amine
RCHO (aldehydes odors) + R NH (amine compounds)

→ RCH : NR (R= special amine compound)
