NORCROSS – PureAir Filtration has developed an antimicrobial fibre called FiberShield that can be used as an added fabric layer in particulate filters to help fight microbes.
It is made of a proprietary blend of nonwoven nanofibres that are impregnated with Ionic+ antimicrobial silver technology supplied by Noble Biometerials, of Scranton, Philadelphia.
The antimicrobial fabric can be used in any particulate filter and is said to be the only one on the market to offer such flexibility to filter manufacturers. FiberShield has been tested and proven effective to inactivate over 99% of specific pathogens by independent testing laboratories.
A second new product from Georgia-based PureAir is Microbe-sorb, an adsorbent media that utilizes a proprietary blend of compounds to activate, enhance and deliver the strong antimicrobial properties of permanganate, a material commonly used in medical practices since the early 1800s.
Independent laboratory tests show Microbe-sorb also inactivates over 99% of microbes on contact.
Both of PureAir’s new products are aimed at mitigating the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic by focusing on improving air quality through gas, odour and pathogen removal.
