Molecular Products in partnership with Poseidon raise the standards in breathing safely underwater
14 January 2009
Molecular Products, dedicated to protecting life and the micro environment by supplying advanced chemical based technologies for the purification of air. Headquartered in the UK, chemical absorbents, chemical based devices and catalysts are manufactured on-site primarily for ‘closed environment' applications.
Introducing SofnoDive® 797 the first dedicated single use, disposable, pre-filled rebreather unit. Exclusively designed for Poseidon Dive Systems and recognised as an integral component of the Discovery, Cis Lunar MkVI. The fully portable and light-weight (2.7 kg) unit is pre-filled with Sofnolime® 797 dive grade soda lime (granular size 1.0mm - 2.5mm), ensuring a breathable atmosphere is maintained.
Incorrect self-filling of rebreather units is potentially very dangerous, A recent documentary by SKY News showing real footage of an incident where a rebreather diver suffers from carbon dioxide poisoning, illustrates the risks. In light of this, and other incidents, Molecular Products propose that the diving industry will gradually shift their preference from self filling rebreather units to the pre-filled, disposable alternative. This viewpoint is wholly supported by Poseidon Dive Systems who have designed their Discovery MkVI purposely to facilitate SofnoDive® 797. The absorber provides an intrinsically more consistent, safer and cost effective alternative to loose fill units, ensuring reliability and quality, delivering the ultimate dive.
Specific benefits to the diver include high intrinsic carbon dioxide capacity, low dust formation for good ‘taste' characteristics and additionally SofnoDive® 797 eliminates the need for the diver to come in contact with the absorber material (Sofnolime® 797). Overall, SofnoDive® 797 guarantees optimum performance contributing to a safer, longer dive.
The sole manufacturer; Molecular Products is committed to offering best value without compromising on quality, delivering outstanding technical solutions based upon a profound understanding of the customer's requirements. There is no substitute for 30 years of experience!
