Will adsorb and retain a wide variety of chemicals at the same time;
Has an extremely large capacity to destroy ozone catalytically. Ozone is a major component of smog;Works well under a wide range of temperature and humidity conditions;
Adsorbs odors and chemicals preferentially to moisture. It is not a desiccant and will release moisture to adsorb chemicals;
