MATERIAL
VOC Scavenger Polymer Adsorbent
About
MAMsorban, which has achieved an international success by being patented both in Turkey and Europe, is a strategic analytical technology product. This THS 9 level product eliminates foreign dependency in air quality measurements, which is vital for the protection of the environment and public health. With its high performance and patented structure, MAMsorban stands out not only as a strong domestic alternative to its imported counterparts, but also as a technology with high potential to compete in the global market and be exported.
Product Overview
It is a patented, high-performance synthetic material developed to capture carcinogens such as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and BTEX (Benzene-Toluene-Ethyl benzene-Xylene) in indoor and outdoor air, which are harmful to human health, with high sensitivity.

Patent/Licensing Status
The innovative nature of the product, TR2022009102A2 numbered Turkish Patent and EP4286045A1 numbered European Patent with a trademark. This means that the product is internationally unique and protected.
Production Capacity
1 kg/year. This is a significant capacity for an analytical material and can cover the needs of thousands of measuring tubes.
Technical Capabilities and Capacity
MAMsorbent works on the principle of accumulating pollutants in the environment by filling sampling tubes used in air quality measurements.
Working Principle
With passive or active sampling methods, air is passed through a tube containing MAMsorbent. VOCs in the air attach to the surface of the material. Then, in the laboratory, this tube is heated (thermal desorption) and the captured pollutants are sent to sensitive analyzers such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine their types and quantities.
Wide Capture Range (n-C₄ - n-C₃₀)
It can effectively retain a wide range of chemicals, from highly volatile to semi-volatile compounds.
High Performance
Thanks to its granular form, high surface area and optimized particle size, it has the capacity to capture even low concentrations of pollutants.
- Environment and Urbanization: Air quality monitoring stations in cities, pollution detection around industrial facilities.
- Occupational Health and Safety (OHS): Measurement of chemical vapors to which workers are exposed in industrial environments such as factories, workshops and laboratories.
- Indoor Air Quality: Detection of chemicals that cause problems such as "sick building syndrome" in closed spaces such as homes, offices and schools.
- Academic Research: As a reference adsorbent material for precise analytical measurements in universities and research institutes.
