Why Our Industrial Air Freshener Blocks Outdo All Others

There are several answers to the question as to why our commercial air-freshener blocks, more famously known as our Squair wafer refills, perform better than any others found in the modern marketplace.

Most notably, we are the actual inventor of the original scented wafer!

Yes, you read it right, and while many have tried reproducing our product, none have ever been able to replicate the quality and performance of our Squairs.

As the originator, our experience in developing formulations spans more than seven decades, a fact very few can boast, and with that comes years of advancements, product refinements and an understanding of ambient scenting and odor control newcomers simply can’t match.

But it’s one thing to rely solely on age and wisdom to boast a product is the best in its category; it’s another to explain exactly why our wafers outperform all others.

In this post, our team does exactly that!

Squair Air Solid Industrial Wafers

The Best High-Performance Air Freshener Blocks

Being the inventor, or “first mover”, of a successful product comes with many advantages. In the words of Amy Drury, “Being first typically enables a company to establish strong brand recognition and customer loyalty before competitors enter the arena. Other advantages include additional time to perfect its product”.

Truer words have never been spoken! 

In addition to our 70+ years of innovations, each of our fragrance blends are field-tested by our team members in actual commercial restrooms before being released.

Testing includes analysis of 30-60-day performance, evaporation rates, product uniformity and any changes in fragrance balance. We also spend quite a bit of time evaluating hedonic testing, which “describes the degree of consumer acceptance and satisfaction regarding the fragrance attributes.” Each fragrance is refined accordingly and those that don’t meet our standards are removed from our commercial repertoire.

As if that were not enough, we also have our own in-house fragrance manufacturing division, enabling us to create new, high-quality fragrance blends on a dime and in line with market trends and analysis.

Speaking of quality, our master perfumers and operators also source only the highest quality essential oils and ingredients, all of which meet all guidelines and quality standards set by The Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM), International Fragrance Association (IFRA), Oregon Tilth, International Sanitary Supply Association (ISSA) and the Natural Products Association (NPA) and the International Organization of Standardization (ISO).

And as far as industrial science, our dedicated and knowledgeable staff of researchers and chemists are aided by the most cutting edge tools that money can buy. These include: mass spectrometry, distillation, gas chromatography, head space analysis, extraction and quality control technology.

Finally, from a practical standpoint, our Squair wafers are easy to use, efficient and economical and they can be used within most air freshener dispensers, no matter what make or model!

But it doesn’t stop there …

Air Fresheners Can’t Exist Without Effective Odor Control

Fragrance is only half of the equation when it comes to air fresheners; the other half has to do with odor control. All of our wafers are infused with the most effective molecular odor neutralizing additive in the marketplace — a product famously known as Metazene.

Metazene is a colorless additive that serves as a fragrance fixative which contains no formaldehyde. This means that it is safe for humans, animals and the environment.

Aroma One Stand in Environment

This neutralizing agent runs rings around conventional air freshener sprays that merely mask odors from smoking, stale food, and chemical smells within commercial interior spaces such as: offices, apartment complexes and industrial plants. 

These sprays can never permanently eliminate malodors, and their use often backfires and worsens the smell by blending with bad odors that are already present, making them stronger, more unpleasant and more difficult to eradicate. 

Although Metazene has been around since the turbulent days of World War II, its innate volatility thwarted early attempts to prepare it. It took many years of trial and error to perfect a concentrate that was both stable and pure. 

Products containing Metazene are the answer to the elimination of all molecular airborne malodors arising within industrial and commercial spaces, particularly in high volume places, such as public restrooms and trash room areas.
