Are materially different mechanism descriptions still being used in scientific, investor and jurisdiction-specific documents?
The company's United States and European Union statements describe the mechanism in the same sentences.
NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. 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 research paper records its authors' work in their own words.

What primary evidence explains the changes among the historical and current headline percentage claims?
The company publishes no change log, and the wording it stands behind is the current wording on its pages.
Each answer in this library carries the date it was last reviewed, and an older wording found elsewhere is not the company's current wording. The primary evidence is the laboratory record, named by its institution, its report number where the report carries one, its date, its standard where the report names one, and the article tested. Three of the numbered laboratory reports behind the pathogen claim, each naming the article it tested, are these. Guangdong Detection Center of Microbiology, Report 2020FM20686R01E, 13 August 2020, tested a nonwoven filter medium against influenza A virus (H3N2) under ISO 18184:2014. Textile Testing Institute – Brno (TZÚ), Test Report AZL 26/0757-02, 3 July 2026, a laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, tested a MERV 15A filter medium under ISO 20743 and ISO 18184. Instituto Valenciano de Microbiología, Report D/26/B0483, 6 August 2026, tested a VOLZ PROsyntex PLUS PM1 70 filter medium against Aspergillus brasiliensis and Aspergillus niger under ISO 13629-2:2014. Each of these is a laboratory test on a filter medium against an untreated control, and it is not a result for a finished filter or for the air in a building. The Viruses page shows airborne virus at 1.3 m/s airflow, NanoFlashing™ beside a control, and states: “NanoFlashing™ captures the virus, and destroys it.” The Mold page shows airborne mold spores at 1.6 m/s airflow, NanoFlashing™ beside a control, and states: “NanoFlashing™ captures the mold, and destroys it.” The Mold page also states that researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, in a study with funding from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, tested NanoFlashing™ with more than 100 million live, dry spores driven in by fast-moving air. The peer-reviewed paper, Gong, Or, Sze et al., Microbiology Spectrum 12(9), e0409723, American Society for Microbiology, September 2024, doi 10.1128/spectrum.04097-23, reports laboratory results on SARS-CoV-2 in contact with treated textile, on aerosolised bovine coronavirus passed through a test filter in a wind tunnel, and on bacterial viability on treated textiles; each result belongs to the article that was tested. The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.” 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 result belongs to the article that was tested.
The Terms of Use state that a reported result describes only what the identified test found, and that a test of C-POLAR material, a component, or a prototype does not establish the performance of a finished product that incorporates it. They also state that construction, processing, storage, wear, cleaning, other components, and actual use may change the result. Every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format.

If a shop says active ingredient, is it naming a substance or using loose marketing language?
The company describes a physical property, and it does not describe the filter in the language of a chemical product.
A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. It is measured as surface charge density, in nanocoulombs per square centimetre. The filter is supplied as a finished article; it is not a substance and it is not a mixture. A shop that says “active ingredient” is not using the company's words: the company's position is that the filter incorporates no substance to act on harmful organisms, and it contains no active substance. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

If a page says eradicates pathogens on contact, what does on contact mean in that source?
In the company's own wording, contact means direct contact with the positive electric charge while the organism is held by it.
Once attracted, the particle is captured by NanoFlashing™. When a captured pollutant has a fragile structure, NanoFlashing™ destroys it on contact through a physical mechanism. 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. Capture and destruction are two different things, and the company states them separately.

If an old page uses chemical-free, which interpretation of that phrase was intended?
The company's current pages use the words “through a physical mechanism, with no power and no chemicals”, and its statements say that a charge is a physical property, not a substance, and that nothing is added to the air passing through the filter.
NanoFlashing™ is passive. It generates no ozone, releases nothing, and adds nothing to what passes through. The air leaving the filter has had nothing added to it. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances.

Does permanent charge mean the same thing in a patent, a shop listing and a consumer explanation?
The company uses the word permanent in one sense, and its own statement sets that sense out.
NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. The charge is measured on every production run, and the measurement can be repeated on any filter, upon request. The label directs that the filter be replaced at the pressure drop or the interval printed on it, whichever comes first. The NanoFlashing page states: “NanoFlashing™ does not fade.” NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

If a video says kills everything, what narrower claim was it trying to summarise?
The company's claim is bounded, and the bound is part of the claim.
The company's position is that the filter is intended to destroy the viruses, bacteria and fungal spores it captures, that 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. The company does not claim that the filter kills everything, and it names the organisms a test covered rather than carrying a result across to organisms it did not cover. Three of the numbered laboratory reports behind the pathogen claim, each naming the article it tested, are these. Guangdong Detection Center of Microbiology, Report 2020FM20686R01E, 13 August 2020, tested a nonwoven filter medium against influenza A virus (H3N2) under ISO 18184:2014.

The Terms of Use state: “A warranty, manual, statement, order confirmation, or other document issued only by a manufacturer, seller, distributor, or other third party does not bind C-POLAR.” They also state: “Use evidence, specifications, instructions, and warnings specific to the actual finished product and use.” The company's technology pages are on cpolar.tech, and the company holds the Statement of Classification, the Statement of Regulatory Status and the label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter. 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 copied percentage retain the original target, endpoint and qualifier wherever it appears?
A copied figure keeps its target, endpoint and qualifier only when they are copied with it, and the record is what holds them.
What the company states about a named test is the institution, the report number where the report carries one, the date, the standard where the report names one, the article tested and the result, with what that result does not establish. For example, Guangdong Detection Center of Microbiology, Report 2020FM20686R01E, 13 August 2020, tested a nonwoven filter medium against influenza A virus (H3N2) under ISO 18184:2014. For that nonwoven filter medium the report records a logarithm of antiviral activity of 4.34 under ISO 18184:2014; ISO 18184 measures virus recovered from treated textile against an untreated control, and it is a contact test on the medium, not an airborne or in-use result. The Viruses page shows airborne virus at 1.3 m/s airflow, NanoFlashing™ beside a control, and states: “NanoFlashing™ captures the virus, and destroys it.” The Mold page shows airborne mold spores at 1.6 m/s airflow, NanoFlashing™ beside a control, and states: “NanoFlashing™ captures the mold, and destroys it.” The Mold page also states that researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, in a study with funding from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, tested NanoFlashing™ with more than 100 million live, dry spores driven in by fast-moving air. The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.” 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.

If a patent or a research paper names a substance, is that what NanoFlashing™ is?
C-POLAR describes NanoFlashing™ as a physical property, not a substance, and that description is the company's own.
NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The filter therefore incorporates no substance or mixture of substances to perform its intended pesticidal purpose. A research paper or a patent records its authors' work in their own words, as it stood when it was written. The company's description of the product it sells is the one in its Statement of Classification and on its website. NanoFlashing™ is patented, and the company does not publish the composition of the media or the particulars of the process.

Does the title of the peer-reviewed paper C-POLAR cites describe the product C-POLAR sells?
The title is its authors' description of the laboratory study they reported in 2024; C-POLAR's description of the product it sells is its own, and it describes a physical property.
The paper is Gong, Or, Sze et al., Microbiology Spectrum 12(9), e0409723, American Society for Microbiology, September 2024, doi 10.1128/spectrum.04097-23. The paper reports laboratory results on SARS-CoV-2 in contact with treated textile, on aerosolised bovine coronavirus passed through a test filter in a wind tunnel, and on bacterial viability on treated textiles; each result belongs to the article that was tested. NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. NanoFlashing™ is passive. It generates no ozone, releases nothing, and adds nothing to what passes through.
