Inorganic deodorant KESMON
KESMON is an inorganic chemical adsorbent deodorant that features superior deodorizing effects against foul odors and VOCs in the living environment. Chemically reacts with malodorous components and almost perfectly eliminate them. In addition, it also exhibits a large deodorizing capacity and excellent sustained effect. With heat resistance and durability, it can be used in a wide range of materials and applications, including films, paper, non-woven fabrics, textiles, molded products, and paints.

Processing example
Example of sensory evaluation of shoe insoles
Shoe insoles coated with 0.5g/m2 of various kinds of KESMON using acrylic binders deodorized the odor inside the shoes.
*Odor in shoes is said to be low-grade fatty acids such as isovaleric acid and butyric acid, which are decomposed by indigenous skin bacteria from foot secretions.
| Almost no odor | Slightly offensive odor | Very unpleasant odor | |
|---|---|---|---|
| NS-70 | 5 | 0 | 0 |
| NS-80E | 4 | 1 | 0 |
| No processing | 0 | 0 | 5 |
Sensory test method
Five subjects were asked to sensory evaluate the odor inside their leather shoes after wearing them for one day. The number of subjects is shown in the table below.
