To Eliminate the Odors in the Equipment & Gear the Men and Women in Public Safety and Military use while Protecting us. Description:
UPWIND®’S COPPER ION TECHNOLOGY
The core component of the Upwind® system of odor elimination products is our patented MCC® copper ion technology. MCC® is short for monocopper(II)citrate, which is a molecule constructed of copper(II) ions with an organic c
itrate component. The mechanism of eliminating odor compounds is initiated by the dissociation of the MCC® complex and controlled release of active copper ions. The active copper ions act as a catalyst for the oxidation of odor compounds. The unique ability to dissociate and provide active copper ions to catalyze oxidation reactions with odor compounds has earned our MCC® technology several patents in the United States and worldwide. MCC® works as an oxidation catalyst to continuously combine oxygen from the air with malodorous material changing it to odorless compounds. Put another way, MCC® technology causes a continually repeating process of rapid chemical combination of oxygen molecules present in the air with odor causing molecules, changing them to odorless compounds. WHAT SEPARATES UPWIND® AND PROVIDES VALUE FOR YOU? Upwind®’s unique ability to enhance and accelerate oxidation reactions. In addition to faster more efficient oxidation, Upwind®’s MCC® technology provides active copper ions to work as a catalyst to continue oxidation as long as reactive odor causing compounds and oxygen are present. Unlike other metal complexes, Upwind®’s copper ion complex can dissociate and free up large amounts of active free copper ions. Other metal complexes, metal additives, and metal enhanced fabrics, often provide little if any free metal ions due to their inability to dissociate and provide a free, reactive form of metal ion. WHAT DO I GET WITH UPWIND® THAT I DON’T GET WITH OTHERS? Upwind goes beyond bacterial odors, we target all sources of odor. Odors molecules are transformed into odorless molecules and will not return
