The Plink PLM40N system uses a wax-based encapsulation to deliver deodorizing agents directly to the disposal blades. The shell is designed with a specific melting point that requires standard household hot water to activate. This ensures that the scent and surfactants are released gradually as the blades puncture the sphere, rather than being washed away immediately by the drain flow.
Specifications indicate the core contains d-Limonene, which is a natural solvent used to help break down fats and oils that can trap food particles. The 40-count "Pro Size" is a practical choice for large families, offering a high density of treatments in a compact, moisture-resistant canister. Because the formula is non-corrosive, it can be used frequently without affecting the integrity of galvanized steel or plastic housings.
Tests show that using very cold water can cause the wax shell to shatter instead of melting, so running hot water for 30 seconds prior to use is a key step for optimal performance. This product is primarily designed for odor management and light grease removal, helping to maintain a fresh environment in the sink area between deep cleanings.
For a version that provides a more visible foaming action to reach the top of the disposal unit, the Lemi Shine Foaming Cleaner might be a better fit for your cleaning routine.
