ICA TriNova Uses Dual-Chamber Pouch For Cleaning, Deodorizing

“It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it.”

That familiar phrase is apropos for personnel tasked to clean, treat and/or deodorize industrial workspaces.

To make the job easier and more effective, ICA TriNova, LLC produces solid-phase chemical/gas release systems. These systems typically contain two separate granular media, or “impregnates,” housed within two separate chambers of a flexible pouch co-developed by Newnan, Ga.-based ICA TriNova and pouch supplier Marsupial Innnovative Packaging, LLC.

The media mix within the pouch once the seals are manually broken, utilizing exterior pulltabs, stimulating chemical gas-producing reactions. The resulting gas/vapor is then released through the pouch’s perforated/breathable film.

The two companies envision developing different product designs, e.g., sizes, to accommodate different chemical reactions and rates of release to address different market applications. Bag sizes could be made to handle media in ranges from smaller than 50g to larger than 500g up to about 12 in. x 12 in. in size, or larger, depending on contents or application.

Various printing options could deliver branding benefits as well as provide usage instructions. Marsupial sends preformed pouches to IC TriNova in an “H”-shaped style to allow the Georgia firm to fill and seal it.

“Until now we’ve been filling different bags manually and hand-applying a little sticker to the bags,” says ICA TriNova’s CFO, Steve Beers. “The medias then need to be mixed together into another bag by our customers. This pouch addresses that. The user can place the pack directly in the area where treatment is desired.”
