A standard feature on every bag is the odour retaining carbon layer but did you know that it is possible to re-charge the Carbon? Active carbon only has so much adsorption capacity (i.e. it can only hold so much “smell”). The Carbon used in Packs Protect bags however can be re-activated by either turning the bag inside out and leaving it the sun for a few hours or by putting it in the dryer on low heat for 5-8 minutes. The heat breaks the bonds between the active carbon and the odour molecules releasing the odours that it has been holding onto and leaving you with a fresh re-activated carbon bag.
Packs Protect bags are all manufactured with a “5 layer” material structure.
LAYER 1 – Waterproof and light proof outer fabric.
LAYER 2 – Filterable, non-woven fabric.
LAYER 3 – Thick activated carbon layer.
LAYER 4 – Filterable, non-woven fabric.
LAYER 5 – Internal protective mesh lining.
LAYER 1 –This durable outer, polyester, fingerprint resistant layer is backed with matt black PVC, making sure that the bag is both light tight and waterproof. This layer is essential to keeping the odours in your bag “in” your bag!
LAYER 2 – A non-woven filterable fabric, which allows odours to pass into the thick carbon layer.
LAYER 3 –Where the magic happens! A thick layer of activated Carbon embedded fabric traps and retains any odours within your bag, preventing them from escaping and being detected by nosey noses.
LAYER 4 –A non-woven filterable fabric, which allows odours to pass into the thick carbon layer. This layer also acts as a barrier to keep the carbon layer in the correct position within the internal structure of the bag.
LAYER 5 –A protective mesh lining which protects the thick Carbon layer, maximizing the life span of the bags. We also use the mesh to make internal, easy access, easily visible compartments within some of the packs protect range.
Packs Protect bags cannot be machine-washed. Clean lightly using water only and a damp non-abrasive cloth. Do not iron.
