This stuff? Soda Lime,CO2 Absorbent Exporter,Manufacturers of Soda Lime,Carbon Dioxide Absorbers,Supersorber CO2 Absorber,Soda Lime Absorbent,Soda Lime Medical Grade,Medical Soda Lime,Suppliers of Soda Lime.

I particularly like the comment: '4mm 8mm grade is the most popular, and is probably adequate for diving and medical purposes'. Clearly, the 'extensive R&D and Market Analysis on Soda Lime for 20 years' has paid off

Honestly, I've never heard from them, as I have not yet strayed off the one true path of Molecular Industries....

Cheers,
Look under contact information you'll find they have a gmail account. If that's any indicator for professionalism then I'd stay away from their sorb.
The size of granules is far to big. Unless you specifically design for that size you'll find breakthrough is achieved all too easy. If you want to use a medical sorb I'd recommend Spherasorb. Although a medical sorb it's used by nearly every Rebreather diver I personally know (could it be it enjoys local popularity?) unless they really have to use the fine sofno. Spherasorb contains a lot less dust and is a lot cheaper. The lower reported WOB is questionable though as comparing it to the coarse grade sofno would be a more relevant comparison.
