Eliminates 4-PCH 'New Carpet Smell'
Directly neutralizes 4-phenylcyclohexene and styrene emitted by SBR carpet backings and tack-strip adhesives.
01 / 05 · Studio Packshot4-Phenylcyclohexene & Acrylate Specialist
botouseneco Carpet, Latex Paint & Wallpaper VOC Neutralizer is a substrate-targeted B2B VOC neutralizer engineered specifically for commercial carpet tiles (SBR latex backing), fresh architectural wall paints, and vinyl wallcoverings. Applied at 12–20 ml/m², it breaks down 4-phenylcyclohexene (4-PCH), styrene, butyl acrylate, and coalescing glycol ethers without affecting textile dye fastness or paint sheen.

01Overview
Targeted chemistry for the #1 source of TVOC failures in modern corporate office and hotel renovations.
In commercial office towers and hotels, modular carpet tiles backed with styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) latex and thousands of square meters of freshly rolled latex drywall paint are the dominant contributors to post-fit-out TVOC failures. Specifically, 4-phenylcyclohexene (4-PCH) has an odor threshold below 1 ppb and causes immediate occupant headaches. botouseneco Carpet & Latex Paint VOC Neutralizer is formulated with cyclodextrin host-guest inclusion polymers and mild peroxy-catalysts that selectively penetrate carpet pile and porous paint films to neutralize these exact monomers.
Directly neutralizes 4-phenylcyclohexene and styrene emitted by SBR carpet backings and tack-strip adhesives.
Ultra-low surface tension formula dries invisibly on flat, eggshell, and satin architectural wall paints.
Leaves nylon and olefin carpet fibers soft and residue-free without attracting soil or dust.
Allows corporate tenants to move into newly carpeted and painted offices within 24–48 hours.
Reaction mechanism
Modified β-cyclodextrin cavities capture hydrophobic aromatic rings (4-PCH, styrene, vinyl acetate) while mild catalytic oxidizers cleave the unsaturated C=C bonds of residual acrylate esters—converting pungent monomers into non-volatile, odorless diols.

03Application
Apply 24 hours after final paint coat or immediately after carpet tile laying.
For commercial carpet tiles, mist evenly so the solution reaches the base of the pile and contacts the SBR adhesive backing. For freshly painted walls, ensure latex paint is touch-dry (at least 12–24 hours post-painting) before misting.
Record initial HCHO/TVOC readings (mg/m³), room temperature (°C), relative humidity (% RH), and closure window (1h vs. 12h).
Identify whether off-gassing stems from urea-formaldehyde MDF/particleboard, phenolic plywood, solvent lacquers, or textile backings.
Calculate total surface area (m²) of panels, walls, and ceilings to determine exact liquid volume (ml/m²) and nozzle gauge (0.5mm–1.0mm).
Confirm sample evaluation batch, TDS/MSDS export documentation, and commercial drum sizing (1L / 5L / 20L / 25L / 200L).
