Emergency response and shipping information
C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™ questions, with the company’s answers and the sources they come from.
Last reviewed: .
All questions in this libraryCan responders identify the material from shipping labels when the outer carton is damaged?
Every filter carries its own label, whatever state the outer carton is in.
The label carries the product name, the panel filter description, the net contents, the nominal size, the net weight, the rated airflow, the maximum face velocity, and the producer’s name and address. The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter is a panel air filter for forced-air heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. It is a dry, solid, finished article. The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir. The markings on an outer carton are the shipper’s. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

Does emergency information cover the full pallet contents rather than only one product component?
What the company states describes the filter itself, not a pallet of mixed goods.
The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter is a panel air filter for forced-air heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. It is a dry, solid, finished article. The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The label carries the product name, the panel filter description, the net contents, the nominal size, the net weight, the rated airflow, the maximum face velocity, and the producer’s name and address. A pallet is made up by the shipper, and its contents are listed on the shipper’s paperwork.

Would fire-damaged stock require a different waste assessment from unused stock?
The label directs that the filter and its packaging go to ordinary waste under the requirements that apply locally, and that it is not burned.
The label states: “Dispose of the used filter and its packaging as ordinary household or commercial waste under Federal, State and local requirements. Do not burn. Do not reuse the filter.” and “Do not install a filter whose media is torn, crushed, wet or visibly damaged.” Waste created by a fire is assessed under the requirements that apply to that incident, by the people handling it.

Can runoff from a warehouse incident contain retained contaminants from returned filters?
A used filter holds what it has taken out of the air.
The label states: “A used filter holds the dust and microorganisms it has taken out of the air. Wear gloves, and eye protection and a dust mask where dust is heavy. Put the used filter straight into a bag or waste container. Do not shake it out or blow it clean. Wash hands after handling.” The label states the operating conditions: “Use in dry air only. Do not use in ducts carrying liquid water, steam or oil mist, or anywhere the media may become wet.” NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

Does a flood response distinguish clean stock from stock exposed to contaminated water?
Yes: the label directs that a filter whose media is wet or visibly damaged is not installed, and the company publishes no result for a filter dried after wetting.
The label states: “Do not install a filter whose media is torn, crushed, wet or visibly damaged.” and “Use in dry air only. Do not use in ducts carrying liquid water, steam or oil mist, or anywhere the media may become wet.” Its storage direction is: “Store flat or on edge in the original packaging, indoors and dry, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not stack loads on the media.”

Can an emergency contact provide composition information outside office hours?
The company does not publish the composition of the media, at any hour; the property it publishes is a charge, not a substance.
The route on the Contact page is one email address and one telephone number: [email protected] and +1 604 630 6830. What can be stated about the filter at any hour is on its label and in its statements. The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter is a panel air filter for forced-air heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. It is a dry, solid, finished article. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir. The company does not publish a staffed out-of-hours line.

Does a responder need to know that the same product name covers more than one substrate?
NanoFlashing™ is one technology carried in five kinds of product, and each finished product carries its maker’s own label.
One Technology. Five Primary Application Verticals: Air, Water, Textiles, Food, Medical. The Terms of Use state that, as of their effective date, the Water, Textiles, Food packaging, and Medical devices chapters describe Research Applications, and that they do not describe finished products currently available from C-POLAR for those uses. Every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

Can a building's emergency plan identify filters that need replacement after smoke exposure?
The label states when to replace the filter, and that rule covers a smoke event as it covers anything else.
The label states when to replace it: at the pressure drop or the replacement interval printed on it, whichever comes first. The Validation page states that NanoFlashing™ is built to maintain its polarity through a wildfire smoke event, and describes independent testing with real smoke from burning pine needles; the report named for that testing is LMS Technologies, Report LMS#9904, 28 April 2025.
The smoke report the company’s statements cite is LMS Technologies, Inc., Pine-Needle Smoke Report, LMS#10471, 20 October 2025, single-pass fractional efficiency in an ASHRAE 52.2 test duct. A building’s emergency plan is set by the people who run the building. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

Does an emergency notice distinguish product handling from operation of the surrounding ventilation system?
Yes: the label covers the filter, and the ventilation system around it is the building’s.
Results in a building depend on the system, the airflow, and how well the filter fits its track.
The label’s installation directions begin: “Switch the system off at the thermostat or at the unit’s disconnect before opening the filter access.” They add “Do not run the system with no filter in the track.” and “The frame edges can be sharp. Improper installation can reduce airflow or damage the equipment.” Air that passes around a filter is not treated by it.

How does the NanoFlashing textile protect firefighters and soldiers who wear it?
The Textile page describes a fabric with a permanent positive polarity, designed for first responders and military, and the Terms of Use describe the Textiles chapter as a Research Application.
The Textile page states: “The NanoFlashing™ Textile has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge.” It also states: “The fabric stays waterproof, breathable, strong and washable. Specifically designed to protect first responders and military who are exposed to external dangers.” NanoFlashing™ attracts negatively charged particles through electrostatic attraction. When a captured pollutant has a fragile structure, NanoFlashing™ destroys it on contact through a physical mechanism. The Terms of Use state: “As of the Effective Date, the Water, Textiles, Food packaging, and Medical devices chapters describe Research Applications. They do not describe finished products currently available from C-POLAR for those uses.”
