Is NanoFlashing™ an antimicrobial treatment?

C-POLAR does not describe NanoFlashing™ as an antimicrobial treatment, and it states that the filter has not been treated with a biocidal product and does not incorporate one.

NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction. The filter is intended to destroy the viruses, bacteria and fungal spores it captures. It destroys them on direct contact with the positive electric charge, by physical means, and only while the organism is captured by the positive electric charge. A laboratory report may use its own standard's terms, such as the antibacterial activity value of ISO 20743; that value is a measurement against an untreated control fabric, in the laboratory's words, not the company's description of the product.
