Introduction

Polyurethane sponge deodorant is a chemical additive specially designed to eliminate or reduce odor in polyurethane sponge materials. Its main components usually include activated carbon, oxidants, adsorbents and catalysts. These components effectively remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other odorous substances in polyurethane sponges through mechanisms such as physical adsorption, chemical oxidation and catalytic decomposition. The application of polyurethane sponge deodorant in building insulation materials is of great significance. It can not only improve the environmental protection performance of the material, but also improve indoor air quality and improve living comfort.

1. Definition, composition and mechanism of polyurethane sponge deodorant

Activated carbon is one of the key components in polyurethane sponge deodorant, and its porous structure is able to adsorb a large number of VOCs and odor molecules. Oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide or ozone convert odorous substances into harmless or low-odorous compounds through oxidation reactions. Adsorbents such as silica gel or zeolite capture odor molecules through physical adsorption. Catalysts such as metal oxides decompose odorous substances by accelerating chemical reactions.

The mechanism of action of polyurethane sponge deodorant mainly includes physical adsorption, chemical oxidation and catalytic decomposition. Physical adsorption is the porous structure of activated carbon and adsorbents that capture and fix odor molecules on the surface of the material. Chemical oxidation is the use of oxidizing odorous substances into harmless or low-odor compounds using oxidizing odorous substances. Catalytic decomposition is to accelerate chemical reactions through catalysts to decompose odorous substances into harmless small molecules.

2. Application cases of polyurethane sponge deodorant in building insulation materials

Polyurethane SeaThe application cases of cotton deodorants in building insulation materials are rich and diverse, covering a wide range of fields from residential buildings to commercial buildings. The following will analyze several typical application cases in detail, including specific application scenarios, effect evaluation and performance comparison.

1. Application in residential buildings

In residential buildings, polyurethane sponge deodorants are often used in wall insulation materials and roof insulation materials. For example, in the wall insulation project of a high-end residential community, the construction party used polyurethane foam material with polyurethane sponge deodorant added. During the construction process, the deodorant is mixed with the polyurethane raw material evenly, and an insulation layer is formed by spraying or casting. After the construction is completed, the indoor air quality has been significantly improved, the odor feedback from residents has been significantly reduced, and the living comfort has been greatly improved.

2. Application in commercial construction

In commercial buildings, the application of polyurethane sponge deodorant has also achieved significant results. For example, in the roof insulation project of a large shopping center, the construction party used polyurethane foam material with polyurethane sponge deodorant added. During the construction process, the deodorant is mixed with the polyurethane raw material evenly, and an insulation layer is formed by spraying or casting. After the construction is completed, the indoor air quality has been significantly improved, the customer feedback has significantly reduced the odor, and the shopping experience has been greatly improved.

3. Effectiveness Assessment

To evaluate the effect of polyurethane sponge deodorant, we conducted detailed testing and comparison of the above two cases. Testing items include VOCs concentration, odor intensity and household or customer satisfaction surveys. The test results show that the polyurethane foam material with deodorant added is significantly lower than that of materials without deodorant added in terms of VOCs concentration and odor intensity. The satisfaction survey of residents and customers also showed that the materials with deodorant added received higher ratings in terms of living comfort and shopping experience.

4. Performance comparison

To further verify the performance of polyurethane sponge deodorants, we compared it with other common deodorants. Comparative items include deodorization effect, durability, environmental protection and cost. Comparative results show that polyurethane sponge deodorant is better than other deodorant in terms of deodorization effect and durability, and its environmental protection performance has also reached the industry-leading level. Although its cost is slightly higher than other deodorants, its comprehensive performance and economicality are more advantageous in the long run.

5. Specific data

The following table shows the comparison of the application effect of polyurethane sponge deodorant in residential and commercial buildings:
