does this capture VOCs like acetone or ABS plastics?

Hi Steven: I have a unit here in my shop - on the packing it says it captures VOCs. I know the unit comes with two permanent, washable filters - the prefilter can be replaced with their - but the user manual seems to suggest you should buy their optional odor and gas reducing prefilter ($20 for a 3 month filter) if you want to filter VOCs - the manual says: "The Honeywell optional pre-filter is compatible with all AirGenius models. Its design compliments the ifD filter by trapping larger particles, reducing odours and removing harmful gases and volatile organic compounds from the air that passes through the filter. For maximum efficiency, change the pre-filter every 3 months." Now I cant tell from the literature if this filter traps all VOCs or specifically if it traps acetone or ABS plastics. You might want to check out this info on the honeywell web page - http://www.airgenius.ca/air-purifiers/air-purifier-features/ - you can find the manual here - http://www.airgenius.ca/air-purifiers/customer-support/owner-manuals/ - info about the odor reducing filter is here - http://www.airgenius.ca/air-purifiers/buy-honeywell-air-purifiers/honeywell-odour-gas-reducing-prefilter-2-pack-hrf-k2c-deedCAN/ - or you can call the honeywell customer help line at 1-800-477-0457 Hope that helps - good luck!

Yes, these are carbon filters. Most VOCs should also be eliminated by the distill process.

I have only used my "recyclable" plastic bottles. I can't answer for anything else.

The bottle is plastic, and yes, there is evaporation. If you're using it daily, the evaporation isn't a problem; otherwise, you'll want to put your acetone back in a sealed bottle when you're done. (That's what I do.)

Yes. And I am very pleased with this purchase. This system makes for easy cleanup and controls odor very well.

Yes. you'll find butane in most if not all compressed cans of hair products. if not butane, then some other simple organic chemical like propane or isobutane.

I did not notice a plastic smell. I am pretty sensitive to odors.Hope this helps.

No. radon gas must have a a high efficiency filter- formerly known as "HEPA". How ever if you have particulates that give off radon, it captures those. Capture is dependent on the filter pore size- info I do not have at hand right now. Thus if you are fitering water from a well it would reduce the radon due to reduced particles. Not because it can capture gases. Most filters that use charcoal can capture radon gas, but they have a very limited life span. ( of course the more water you filter the shorter the life span.)

Never use acetone for cleaning any kinds of plastics and/or painted marks (eg. keyboard letters) as acetone will wash them away. Acetone might also leave permanent foggy spot on some plastics, since acetone dissolves it. Use alcohols instead. There is a reason why acetone is contained in nail polish remover and not alcohol.

As I remember the A Plus Filter says it uses a better type of carbon based molecule to trap odors. I have no way of knowing if it is better. But the air is fresh in the basement. Is it fresher than before? Can't tell without some quantitative guidelines and measurements. For me it was "chicken soup": couldn't be any worse than the plain carbon filter and might be better.

Yes, the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in things like oil- and enamel-based paints, glues, sealers, etc. are exactly the kinds of things that these cartridges are designed to filter out. If you only use your mask and cartridges infrequently, put them into a ziplock bag and squeeze out as much of the air as you can when not in use to prolong the cartridge life.

Yes... Once removed from mfr plastic packaging, smell dissipates after a couple days.

ABS. This is commonly known as injection molded plastic. It is a highly durable, yet light weight productThis fan performs as well as the $2,500+ Big Ass fan. Very happy with this product.

Yes it should work on filters that are metal(gas engines) or plastic housings(Diesel engines)

yes I did notice it does have that plastic odor unfortunately. Other than that works great!

I use a heavy duty reusable liner by Planet Wise, and have had no problem with smells leeching into the plastic.I am not sure how to fix the problem once it has happened though.

This can be used for cleaning glass, plastics, and seals, but be careful, as this will leach color much like stronger acetone.
