Restorer R13 Salon Gas & Odour Filter
$109.95
Ideal for Environments with Moderate to Heavy Concentrations of Gases & Odors
Reduces gases and odors from hair and nail products and processes, such as hair treatments, hair sprays, nail bonding agents and nail polish. Targets some of the most common (and dangerous) chemicals found in salons, including toluene and dibutyl phthalate (DBP). Many different hair and nail processes cause the release of gaseous pollutants like Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the air. Exposure to toxic gases can cause short-term health problems and pose long-term serious health risks.
