A Clathrate is a chemical substance consisting of a lattice that traps or contains molecules. The word clathrate is derived from the Latin clatratus meaning with bars or a lattice. Traditionally, clathrate compounds are polymeric and completely envelop the guest molecule, but in modern usage clathrates also include host-guest complexes and inclusion compounds. Clathrates are "Inclusion compounds in which the guest molecule is in a cage formed by the host molecule or by a lattice of host molecules."
What is Sinodeen, and how does it work?
The diameter of a Sinodeen prison molecule is 1,000 times bigger than an ammonia molecule and the volume is 1,000,000 times greater.
The biological active substances in Sinodeen come from plants that grow under difficult circumstances. They use these properties to absorb gaseous elements from their surroundings.
Sinodeen kills up to 99.9% of 99.9% of all known odours
A Sinodeen installation is up to 75% cheaper than other odour correction systems
Maintenence of a Sinodeen system is up to 80% less costly than other odour correction systems
Running costs of a Sinodeen system usually run at 80% less than other installations
Ecologically speaking, running a Sinodeen system is no more damaging to the environment than a 100w lightbulb

Sinodeen® is the brand name for our odour removal liquids consisting of a composition of active substances based on plant extracts and essential oils. These liquids include Sinodeen-L®, Sinodeen-S® and Sinodeen-i®.
Sinodeen-i® is used for industrial purposes and it is marketed in different varieties depending on the purpose.
The Principle of Sinodeen Odour Removal
Certain macromolecules (large molecules) form a special hole- and cavity structure. The best way to describe them is by comparing them to footballs with the black patches representing holes. Unlike a football however, which has just a few black spots (holes), a Sinodeen molecule has up to 10,000 cavities.
The molecules are characterised by the fact that they have the ability to capture smaller molecules and to bind them in the cavities. Therefore, they are referred to as ‘prison’ molecules and the captured smaller molecules are referred to ‘prisoner’ molecules. Macromolecules with a captured freight (prison molecules with prisoners) are, in chemical terminology, referred to as ‘Clathrates’.
(In reality, clathrates consist of a cage-shaped crystal lattice, in which the prisoner molecules are enclosed)
The prison molecules and the prisoner molecules do not interact chemically. The capturing is physical and does not result in new chemical combinations.
Sinodeen consists of macromolecules ranging in size from 20-50 µm with a clathrate structure that captures and removes the most frequent undesired odour- and contamination substances normally consisting of a lot smaller molecules. For instance, ammonia molecules are merely about 20 nm.
In order to remove undesired odour Sinodeen is evaporated into the contaminated air by using various methods, according to the environment being cleaned. The Sinodeen molecules float and interact with the undesired odour molecules in the air, they then permanently bind to the undesired odour molecules in the air and together they form odour free molecules. The Sinodeen molecules and their freight are destroyed gradually by naturally occurring microorganisms in the air, without the emission of odour or contamination substances.
The process in practice
The active substances that consist of clathrates are added to the contaminated air by spray or evaporation. The addition can take place directly in a room or, if the purpose is to protect the surroundings against undesired odour from a company, in a company’s ventilation or extraction system. The molecules float in the air stream, and thereby adsorb all the ‘right’ undesired odour molecules and hold them permanently.
The spray system is easy and inexpensive to install on any existing air-conditioning, ventilation or extraction system. Any bio filtration or washer attached to the ventilation system is usually not necessary. However, the active substances are not affected by bio filtrations.
Which substances have an undesirable odour?
Amongst the many problematic odours, we would include enzymes, co-enzymes, aromatics to name a few. The list below is of the most common substance we are asked to eliminate:-
• Amino acid
• Ammonia
• Sulphur combinations
• Thiol combinations
• Mercaptans:
Methanthiol CH4S, Methyl mercaptan
Ethanthiol C2HsSH, Ethyl mercaptan
Butanthiol, Butyl mercaptan
• Di- and polysulphides
• Hydrogen sulphide
• Fatty acid
• Ester
• Aldehydes
How does degradation work?
The clathrates including their captured odour and contamination freight are carried away by the existing air stream and distributed into the environment. Wherever the clathrates settle, they are biologically degraded by the natural occurring airborne bacteria that use parts of the molecules as nourishment. During this digestion process the ‘host’ molecule and the adsorbed ‘guest’ molecules are transformed into carbon dioxide and water. A similar type of degradation is known, for instance, from bio filtration.
Generally, when of biological origin, undesired odours are easily adsorbed because their molecules are small. However, some cyclic combinations or other mineral combinations typically require more Sinodeen because the molecules in such volatiles are larger.
Measurement methods for the efficiency of absorption
The respected German laboratory, HALAB (Hanseatisches Labor für Mineralöl und Umweltanalytik GmbH), has completed gas chromatographic measurements of the Sinodeen method’s efficiency. The results of the measurements completed during the month of July 1995, with the percentage results indicating the level of adsorption, are as follows:
Butyric acid 99.9 %
Ethylamin 99.9 %
Butylamin 99.9 %
4 Mercaptan 96.0 %
Formaldehyde 98.3 %
Hydrogen sulphide 99.5 %
Ammonia 99.3 %
Aminobutan/pentan 99.9 %
Styrol 99.9 %
Where is this new technology applicable?
Generally, this technique can be applied to remove odour in work spaces and to remove emissions of odours and pollution from companies into the environment. The possibilities are endless, for example:
Private households, the healthcare sector, animal- clinic and shelters, catering and restaurant companies, agriculture, abattoirs, stables, waste incineration- and sorting plants, rendering companies and abattoir waste, sewage treatment plants, wastewater pumping and wastewater treatment systems, composting plants, soil cleaning plants, the fishing industry in general, fish meal factories, fish food factories, food and beverage industry, clothing industry, biogas plants, seed and grain companies, fire and water damage renovation.
The undesired odour in, and from work spaces often come from high concentrations of volatiles that are also toxic. The most common examples are ammonia, hydrogen sulphide and formaldehyde. This technique is a very good and quick solution that solves all of the problems deriving from these substances.
Removing odour inconveniences in work spaces is not just about reducing health risks and sick days, it is also about the fact that clean air contributes to a reduced accident frequency, better concentration among employees and an improvement in the general well-being of the workforce.
Companies that are faced with having to invest in an exhaust ventilation system and treatment of the ventilated air can also benefit from the new technique and its advantages. Companies that have already invested in this equipment can benefit further by a correct combination of the old and the new technique.
The environment
The new technology was developed specifically to help the environment. The decomposable and non-combustible active substances and are non-toxic. They are also completely biodegradable and the active substances do not react to bio filtrations.
Various documentation for the non-toxic nature of active substances exists and the
Safety Data Sheet according to DIN 52900 is available.
Flies
Just two of our latest products which have been developed are Rappellant and Fliegen that give off scents from special plants rejecting flies. By using these you can remove flies from rooms, etc. by installing an evaporator (Sinomat V150) with the liquids and the subsequent slow evaporation keeps the rooms fly free!
By using the spray pump with the product, it is possible to keep special areas fly free, for example, containers, dumpsters or domestic animals such as horses.
