Plug-in Air Freshner

Plug-in Air Freshener Wicks

Plug-in air fresheners are designed to deliver fragrances quickly. For more intense and consistent fragrance release, Porex developed porous fiber and sintered particle wicks.

Specifically designed for plug-in air fresheners, these wicks deliver fragrance from the bottle or container to the heater using capillary action, thereby diffusing fragrance from the wick into the air.

Our porous fiber provides an intense fragrance release, while our sintered particle wicks deliver a consistent fragrance release over the life of the air freshener. Both types of wicks are available in many shape options, including 2D shape capability for the porous fiber technology and 3D shape capability for the sintered particle technology.

Other similar applications for plug-in air freshener wicks include ambient air freshener wicks and toilet freshener wicks.
