Zinc Ricinoleate is a zinc salt of Ricinoleic Acid, a dilutable malodor absorber used in home and personal care products. In addition, it is a common ingredient in household products, sanitary products, air fresheners, car care, pet care products, and cat litter. It is also being implemented in a variety of industrial and ecological applications including landfill, garbage, paper, and sewage industries.

Zinc Ricinoleate removes unpleasant-smelling substances such as cigarette smoke, isovaleric acid, mercaptans, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and amines from the ambient air or prevents their emission into the ambient environment. Once in the water phase, the zinc atom is accessible and reactive to functional groups from unpleasant-smelling substances. Zinc Ricinoleate is a concentrate that is directly dilutable in water, is non-toxic, and is readily biodegradable. The simplicity of its formulation via dilution creates numerous low-cost, low- complexity manufacturing options.
