The other two main players in dive absorbant are Dräger (DiveSorb) from Germany and Molecular Products (Sofnolime) from the U.K..

All three of those products are specifically designed for use in rebreathers.
For CE certification an absorbant is specified, Dräger uses their own, Sofnolime is used by Ambient Pressure Diving.

Here in the U.S. Sodasorb is quite popular, a lower price being one reason.
