Enzyme Urinal Block Square
Working Principle of Biological Blocks 1. Controlled Release of Enzymes & Bacteria The block contains enzymes and/or friendly bacteria (non-pathogenic strains like Bacillus). These microorganisms are activated when urine passes over the block. 2. Breaking Down Uric Salts & Organic Matter Urine contains urea, uric acid, and salts, which can crystallize and cause scaling, odor, and blockages in pipes. Enzymes and bacteria in the block digest urea and uric acid into simpler, soluble compounds (like ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water). This prevents uric salt crystals from forming inside the trap and pipes. 3. Odor Control By breaking down urea/uric acid before they decompose naturally, the block reduces the release of foul-smelling gases (like ammonia). Some blocks also contain mild deodorizers or fragrances for an immediate fresh smell. 4. Slow Dissolution The block is designed to dissolve slowly, releasing active ingredients over time. This provides continuous cleaning and odor control between maintenance cycles. *Simplified Example Urine flows ? contacts the block ? enzymes/bacteria activate ? break down uric salts ? no scaling or smell ? pipes stay clean longer
