Blind??? I do not think so!not sure blind faith is either
"new special at your local restaurant"? I don't get the connection. Zeolytes in Alphamat is not new by a long shot.
The information from Hugh Phibbs is very good and very reliable:
The Bainbridge zeolites are organo-philic and hydro-phobic, which means that they will take up pollutants that one would worry about, including oxidizing gases, without filling up with water and becoming useless. They are in the paper that comprises the inner plys of their 4 ply boards and not in the glue. One can discern their presence by opening the board and feeling its inner plys or bending it and noticing how much more it is likely to crack than a non-zeolite board would if folded the same way. Zeoloites can be made to release their pollutant load if they are heated, but the only way to know just what that temperature is for a specific zeolite would be to text that one, in situ. If that temperature were exceeded, any escaping pollutant would encouter the calcium carbonate that is also in the board. Since they are hydro-phobes, being in a glue or in water used to make paper is not a problem and they may be able to function in a plastic matrix, as the expanded copper in Corrosion Intercept does.
