Gelair Air Conditioning Block

Description

Gelair™ Air Conditioning Blocks (Gelair™ ABs) are used in HIGH (AIR) VOLUME, HIGH (AIR)
FLOW areas such as the Air Handling Unit (AHU) of air conditioning systems to sterilise and sanitise the whole air conditioning system and effectively stop the spread of invisible mold, bacteria and viruses by treating all air entering and leaving the AHU.
Gelair™ ABs consist of a specially formulated and patented gel matrix block impregnated with Tea Tree Oil
which delivers controlled and sustained release of high quality Australian Tea Tree Oil vapour for up to 12
weeks. Once released, the vapour permeates through the entire air conditioning system, sterilising and
sanitising the AHU supply ducts, return ducts and diffusers of the air conditioning system. The released Tea
Tree Oil vapour also treats all the air passing through the air conditioner and into the building effectively
stopping the spread of invisible mold, bacteria and viruses (including Legionella). WE CALL THIS ‘360°
TREATMENT’.
The sterilising and sanitising properties of the Gelair™ AB continues for the entire life of the Gelair™ air conditioning block due to the superior ability of the gel matrix to control the release of specific concentrations of Tea Tree Oil vapour over a long period of time.
Gelair™ ABs are designed for use in DUCTED AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS sized from small, one-room systems through to large air handlers and cooling blocks for large office buildings.

Choosing the right sized Gelair™ AB for your needs should be based on ONE of the following.

About Tea Tree Oil
The active ingredient of the Gelair™ gel matrix is Australian Tea Tree Oil. Tea Tree Oil is an essential oil which is known around the world for its INCREDIBLE STERILISING PROPERTIES (removal or killing of all forms of microbial life present including transmissible agents such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, spore forms etc). The sterilising properties of Tea Tree Oil are present both in the oil and in the vapour (tiny particles of the oil which have become airborne).
Not all Tea Tree Oils are of a similar standard. All Gelair™ Products contain only Australian Tea Tree Oil sourced from a single ISO certified plantation. This ensures a superior product every time with minimal chance of irritation caused by poor quality oil.
Tea Tree Oil has a characteristic odour which most people describe as “fresh” and “clean”.
