I have experience with both in SCBA units. You gave a mesh size (6/12) for SodaLime but did not include the size of the SofnoLime. My experience has been that SofnoLime has a small granular size and thus can pack more granules into a given space and provide greater CO2 removal. Of course this comes with the price of greater breathing resistance through the SofnoLime. If you are unsure of the specifications for the two brands I would use the general rule of thumb that the SodaLime will only remove about 60% of what the same volume of SofnoLime would remove.

For more information you can check out the web sites of each manufacture. I do not have those sites readily available but SodaLime is manufactured by W.R.Grace Company in the USA and SofnoLime is manufactured by Molecular Products in the UK.
