    Technical Details & Test Data

    Technical Information

    Flexicare ZR-P is an odor neutralizer...not an antimicrobial or chemical masking agent. More effective than related copper and magnesium salts of the same valence, and relate stearic and oleic acids of the same carbon number, Flexicare ZR-P zinc ricinoleate forms a unique fixating complex that traps and absorbs odor causing substances. Zinc ricinoleate is a zinc salt of ricinoleic acid, derived from zinc and a purified fatty acid from castor seed oil, a vegetable oil obtained from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant.
