FAQs

What is a nanofibre filter?

Nanofibre is a non-woven fabric made up of very thin strands of material. These strands can be up to 400 times thinner than a single strand of human hair, and collect on top of each other to form a functional fabric.

What is the best air filter available?

Easy, FilterLayr nanofibre. Due to simple size exclusion, FilterLayr traps even the smallest particles, bacteria and viruses.

Can filter media kill viruses?

FilterLayr can have functional actives added to it's chemistry to adopt antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. Early results have shown our FilterLayr media with antibacterial actives can indeed kill viruses.

What facemasks are the best against viruses?

Any facemask using FilterLayr nanofibre filtration technology offers your best defense against breathing in harmful particles, pollution, microbes, spores and viruses.

Is FilterLayr nanofibre safe to handle?

Yes, being a continuous fibre and not anything related to nanoparticles, there is zero risk of inhalation of anything harmful in FilterLayr nanofibre.

What material is used in air filters?

Generally, the filtration material used for air filters manufacturing is the filtering paper based on cellulose fibers impregnated with phenolic, epoxy or acrylic resins. According to Science Daily, experts have synthesized the material that is perfect for protection of respiratory organs, analytical research and other practical purposes. An almost weightless fabric made of nylon nanofibers with a diameter less than 15 nm beats any other similar materials in terms of filtering and optical properties.

How does FilterLayr compare other filter media options?

Download the white paper below to know what is the benefit of FilterLayr compared to other filter media used in the market. FilterLayr provides great breathability, extremely lightweight to be incorporate to your next-generation product.

Biological filtration that fights viruses and bacteria

FilterLayr can be infused with active ingredients, to not only trap, but actively destroy bacteria and viruses. The best biological filter media for a truly functional textile for modern air filtration solutions.

How FilterLayr is made

Created using our proprietary ‘sonic’ electrospinning method, which allows us to include functional additives to the chemistry of the nanofibre. It also guarantees the quality and high filter efficiency of the nanofibre.
