How Our Odor Control Spray and Odor Traps Work

Odor Comes from Molecules in Motion

When something smells bad – like garbage, sweat, or damp laundry – tiny airborne molecules are released. These odor molecules move fast and randomly in every direction.

πŸ”Έ An odor molecule travels at hundreds of meters per second
πŸ”Έ It collides with other molecules billions of times per second
πŸ”Έ It bounces around like a pinball – until it hits a surface where it sticks

The Odor Trap Catches Molecules on Contact

S-Q Odor Trap products contain a material with an extremely fine internal structure and a massive active surface area. When an odor molecule touches that surface, it sticks β€” through a physical process called adsorption.

πŸ”Έ Adsorption = molecules bind to a surface
πŸ”Έ No chemical reaction, no added fragrance β€” just neutralization
πŸ”Έ The molecule stops spreading odor

More Surface Area = More Odor Captured

The effectiveness of the Odor Trap depends on the probability that odor molecules will collide with its surface. The larger the active surface area, the more molecules are captured. Our odor-neutralizing materials are designed to maximize this effect.

πŸ”Έ Our materials offer hundreds of square meters of active surface area per gram
πŸ”Έ More surface = faster and more powerful odor elimination

Placement and Containment Matter

To get the best results, the Odor Trap must be located where the smell originates β€” ideally in an enclosed space. This increases the chance that odor molecules will hit the surface and be captured.

πŸ”Έ In closed environments (bins, closets, containers), more molecules are trapped
πŸ”Έ In open rooms, larger or multiple traps are needed
πŸ”Έ Proper placement = maximum effectiveness

when Odors stick and stay - just spray

Odors from smoke, sweat, pets or urine easily soak into materials like fabric, plastic, or tile. Once absorbed, these molecules cling to surfaces and are hard to remove with normal cleaning.

S-Q Odor Control Spray creates an invisible, active surface that traps odor molecules and stops them from spreading. It works without perfumes, allergens, or harmful nanoparticles β€” yet delivers powerful results.

THE SPRAY WORKS WHERE ODORS START

An active surface that captures and neutralizes odor

The spray contains functionalized silica dioxide β€” a natural material with extremely high surface activity. As the liquid evaporates, it leaves behind an odor-binding layer that works directly on the surface.

πŸ”Έ Adsorption – odor molecules are physically trapped
πŸ”Έ Catalysis – some substances break down on contact

The result: a fresh, neutral surface β€” in shoes, cars, bathrooms, and beyond.

PREVENT ODORS – SPRAY BEFORE THEY STICK

Spray surfaces and materialsΒ beforeΒ the smell sets in – and avoid the problem entirely.
S-Q Odor Control Spray is not only a reactive treatment but also a preventative one. By treating clothing, textiles and gear before use, you reduce the risk of unpleasant odors taking hold.

βœ… Perfect for sportswear, training shoes and protective equipment
βœ… Extends the life of suits, shoes, workwear and other items that aren't washed often
βœ… Protects furniture, curtains, carpets and textiles in high-use areas

Create freshness where you've previously had odor issues. The spray leaves no stains, is fragrance-free, and completely safe to use around the home.

TURN YOUR TEXTILES INTO ODOR TRAPS

When you treat textiles with S-Q Odor Control Spray, they become active surfaces that trap and neutralize odors.

🎯 Turn your home into an odor trap – spray rugs, sofas or curtains
🎯 Effective in workplaces, vehicles and recreational gear
🎯 Freshness without fragrance – just clean air

Treated textiles act as a passive odor shield. A simple application delivers long-lasting results – and can be reapplied whenever needed for enhanced effect.

How the Technology Behind S-Q Works

Scientifically Developed. Patented. Perfume-Free.

S-Q’s odor control products use patented Swedish technology to remove bad odors without perfumes, ozone, or harmful chemicals. The solution is based on advanced surface chemistry and materials science.

The Core: Functionalized Silica Particles

At the heart of the technology are specially treated silica particles designed to bind odor molecules from the air through adsorption β€” a physical process where molecules attach to the surface of the material.

How It Works β€” In Three Steps

  1. Contact – Airborne odor compounds (e.g. hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, organic acids) reach the active surface.

  2. Binding – The molecules are captured through surface interaction.

  3. Retention – The odors are held in place without releasing new substances into the air.

The process is completely passive β€” no electricity, batteries, or filters required β€” and works best in enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces.
