Medisorb mainly.

Jeff

Is there much dust with the Medisorb?

Gilles · 10th August 2007, 23:17

Types I've used with my comments.

Dive sorb (Drager): Works good, dusty, and expensive (note my location)

797 Sofno: Best of all but wayyyy 2 expensive where I'm at. Anybody moving a container from the UK to Malaysia anytime soon?

4-8 grade?(coarse) Sodasorb: Worked ok, dusty, short duration

6-12?(fine) Sodasorb: Worked good, dusty, equivalent duration to Divesorb

Sperasorb: Choice for my location. As good as Dive/Soda sorbs and gets delivered at much lower price. Very non-dusty.

Hey Jeff,

can you still get Medisorb as i was told that they had stoped selling it to divers.

G'day mark,
I've been OS ---hence the late reply. Medisorb is still available ---but when the prices quoted jumped up to the diving grade I switched & have now restocked with Sodasorb instead.

Like any brand ---it depends a lot on how it is handled in transit.

Some containers were a bit dusty that I just polished off in Bikini (sent over there in 2005) compared to a couple I still have here, out of the same lot.
If you are concerned about dust content, just pour it into scrubber when there is a bit of wind blowing outside. Works for me.

I use Dive Sorb, and never used anything else for the simple reason that it is the only sorb I can easily put my hands on in Thailand.

Hi & Welcome to Rebreather World Bruno,
I don't see any reason why they both wouldn't work in any breather except for the ones that can only use cartridges. So I say yes
What price are they asking per kg?

Cheers

brunospf · 8th November 2007, 05:23

Hi,

The prices in Brazil:

a) Sofnolime -2550WV / 20 kg = R$ 259,00;

b) Atrasorb subaquática / 20 Kg = R$ 230,00

1,00 Real = 1,74 American Dollars
