Zeolites are a natural volcanic mineral, with a crystalline, honeycomb structure. Zeolites are porous and have a high surface area. They are classified as a molecular seive, and have a natural negative ion charge. Think of Zeolite as a giant sponge. Zeolites have a high affinity for water and will absorb and hold liquids up to 25 times its weight. Water, odors, gas, chemicals, and most liquids have a positive ion charge. When passed by or through the zeolites, the negative ions in the Zeolites will attract and hold the positive ions in it’s structure. When regenerated, either by heat
or salt water, the Zeolites will release what it is holding and the process will start over. Zeolites can be used over and over, and will not disolve or break down over time.
The type of Zeolite used is important, as not all Zeolites are the same. At Absorbtion Solutions, we use the “Clinotoloplite” or “Clino” Zeolite for all of our applications. We buy our Zeolite from the same source as NASA. We only use 100 % Zeolite and never add fillers or additives. Our Zeolite
is still in the same bag as it is received from the mining company and is never allltered. When you buy Zeolite from Absorbtion Solutions, you can be sure that you are receiving a high quality, pure product without fillers or alterations.
The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) has determined that Zeolite is Non Toxic, non corrosive, non flammable, stable, not caustic, or not an irritant. It has also determined that Zeolite is not a sensiziter in oral, dermal or ocular in accordance with the Federal Hazardous
Substances Act (15 CFR 1500). The Food and Drug Administration has approved Zeolite for use in and around food substances. Zeolite can be safely ingested but is not recommended as studies have not been conducted. Zeolite has been used for years as a feed additive in dairy applications.
