HEPA Explained

The secret is out: Certified HEPA Material is an acronym you need to know about. It stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air (purifier), and is an air filter unlike any you’ve experienced. It was developed under to filter nuclear hazards but is now available to bring fresh, clean air into your home.

History of Certified HEPA Material

During the 1940s, in the midst of World War II the first atomic bomb was covertly developed, and so was the necessity to protect hundreds of scientists from radioactive contaminants. Along came Certified HEPA Material technology. An air filter that removed 99.97 percent of particulates as small as 0.3 microns and 95 percent of those 0.1 microns and smaller.

Certified HEPA Material has since been applied to aeronautical, medical and military environments and today it is available to you. You can find it in some of the best know air purifiers (including ours), ensuring the air you and your family breathe is as clean as possible.

How it Works

True Certified HEPA Material is the most effective particulate filtering material on the market. Unlike electrostatic precipitators or air filters that use negative ions, a Certified HEPA Material filter can actually intercept and trap unbelievably small particulates which allow the air to remain clean without the creation of harmful byproducts. A Certified HEPA Material air purifier will clean the dust, pollen and dander you can see, but more importantly, it can help eradicate the bacteria and pollutants you cannot.

You Can Trust Certified HEPA Material!

To be a considered a true Certified HEPA Material filter on today’s market, it must satisfy the same standards of efficiency set by the United States Department of Energy filtering 99.97 percent of particulates as small as 0.3 microns (to give that some perspective, a dot measures about 600 microns!) Unlike other types of air filtration devices, a device with a Certified HEPA Material filter actually becomes more efficient the more you use it!

Breathe Easy

The particles a Certified HEPA Material filter is dealing with may be microscopic but their effect can be much larger than their size suggests. Itchy watery eyes, sneezing, wheezing, respiratory diseases, snoring, allergy and asthma attacks and disturbed sleep can all be caused by environmental pollutants. Using a Certified HEPA Material air filter will help remove these from your home and can be the first step towards breathing a little easier tonight.
