You are referring to two different things, reactivation and regeneration. Reactivation is basically remaking the activated carbon all over again. To achieve this state you must heat it to over 600° in an very controlled enviroment. Quite different from the household dryer. Regeneration is what we do in the household dryer. Basically this rids the garment of roughly 85-90% of the scent molucules in the garment, but will never totally reactivate a garment.
Can you please elaborate on the science behind these claims. I don't quite understand how it takes 800 degrees and pyrolysis to restore
nearly 100% of the absorptive properties of carbon yet you can get 90% back by putting it in a household dryer. I was also wondering...........wouldn't the dryer need to be scent free also?
Test data You can read the independent lab testing data here.
Could you provide information or a link to this independent lab testing. There really is no information on the link above as to how, where, and by whom the test was done.
Many have questioned the validity of our products, so we continue to test our own products and new technologies to validate ourselves.
This is what lead me to my above question............your test link above says independent testing and this quote suggests you do the testing yourselves. Just want to clarify.
Lastly, regenerate as often as possible,
Going by your above statement that you only get 85-90% back in the dryer and starting at 100% when you get the suit it will only be 50% effective after 4 regenerations and totally ineffective after less then 20.
Suit starts at 100% and you regenerate to 85%
Next regeneration takes you from 85% down to 72.25%
Next regeneration takes you from 72.25% down to 61.41%
Next regeneration takes you from 61.41% to 52.20%.............and so on.
Since you must regenerate when first buying the suit to get all the scent out that was picked up by many people trying the garment on in the store and being handled by the masses.........this only leaves you 3 dryer runs before the suit is half used up.
Please help me out if I am figuring that incorrectly...........but I don't see how you could return to 85-90% each regeneration since if you are starting out at 85-90% after your first cycle that would mean in order to maintain that level you would be getting 100% regeneration from each additional dryer run...........which in turn would make the suits last forever.
Hopefullly this helps. If anyone has a specific question, feel free to personal message me and I will continue to converse. Many times these forums become a battery of personal attacks, and I will not be a part of it, so as soon as something of that nature occurs I will have to regretfully exit from the conversation. If this conversation stays civil and to the point I will continue with this until there are no more questions.
Thanks for understanding
I hope you stick around..............I am very interested in this topic and hopefully you can answer some of the questions I have.
