I have just finished speaking with the manufacturer (who is not
Unger Enterprises) and I am pleased to confirm that Sootmaster is
just another brand name for what is otherwise known as a Smoke
sponge.

Smoke sponges are made of vulcanized rubber, they are not toxic and
do not contain any chemicals or additives. They rely upon a unique
pore or cell structure to draw and contain smoke and grime from
objects. Smoke sponges come in two sizes, 6 x 3 x 3/4 inch and 6 x 3
x 1-3/4 inches.
