C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™ questions, with the company’s answers and the sources they come from.
Last reviewed: .
All questions in this libraryAre the water, textile, food-packaging and medical chapters describing finished products available from C-POLAR?
No. Those four chapters describe Research Applications, not finished products available from C-POLAR.
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.” They also state: “A test of a material, component, sample, or prototype does not establish the safety, efficacy, suitability, durability, compatibility, manufacturability, scalability, or performance of a finished product.” NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter.

What can Research Content describe?
The Terms of Use set out what Research Content may describe, and it is a list.
The Terms of Use state: “Research Content may describe a hypothesis, concept, sample, prototype, test result, performance target, estimate, plan, timeline, or possible use.” They also state: “A test of a material, component, sample, or prototype does not establish the safety, efficacy, suitability, durability, compatibility, manufacturability, scalability, or performance of a finished product.” They add: “Images and descriptions may show concepts or prototypes. They are not specifications, instructions, validation reports, recommendations, warranties, offers, promises, or commitments.”

Are research images and descriptions product specifications or promises?
No. Images and descriptions are not specifications and they are not promises.
The Terms of Use state: “Images and descriptions may show concepts or prototypes. They are not specifications, instructions, validation reports, recommendations, warranties, offers, promises, or commitments.” They also state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.” The Validation page names the reports and certificates it lists with the institution and the number. An image is not the evidence. Each numbered report the company cites is named in text with its institution and number, not only shown in a picture.

All questionsDoes research status change the requirement for an existing factual statement to be accurate?
No. Every statement about an existing fact or result must still be accurate.
The Terms of Use state: “Research status does not convert a statement about an existing fact or test into a forecast. Every statement about an existing fact or result must still be accurate.” A reported result describes only what the identified test found. What was tested is named on the Validation page with the conditions and the institutions, and the page gives report and certificate numbers for the air-filtration, certification and safety records.

All questionsWhat wording describes the textile application?
The Textiles chapter is a Research Application, and the page describes a fabric that carries the polarity.
The Textile page states that the NanoFlashing™ Textile has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge, and that the fabric stays waterproof, breathable, strong and washable. 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. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The Textile page describes the application in these words: “The NanoFlashing™ Textile captures and destroys viruses, bacteria and fungal spores, and stays waterproof, breathable, strong and washable.” 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.
The Validation page lists after 60 washes among the conditions the material was tested under, and a result covers the article and the conditions named in the report that recorded it.

All questionsWhat wording describes the food-packaging application?
The Food packaging chapter is a Research Application, and the page describes a package that carries the polarity.
The Food page states that NanoFlashing™ Food Packaging changes the role of the package itself, and that it has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge. 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. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The one food comparison the company publishes is the Strawberry Test: three strawberries held at 26°C for thirteen days, one stored in a glass jar, one wrapped in polyester, and one wrapped in NanoFlashing™ Food Packaging; the film's closing frame labels them “Expired on Day 2”, “Expired on Day 3” and, for NanoFlashing™ Food Packaging, “Expired on Day 12”. The Food page states: “NanoFlashing™ Food Packaging captures and destroys viruses, bacteria and fungal spores through a physical mechanism.” 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.

All questionsWhat wording describes the medical-device application?
The Medical devices chapter is a Research Application, and the page describes a device surface that carries the polarity.
The Medical page states that the NanoFlashing™ Medical Device has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge. It sets out the problem in the company’s own words: a catheter, screw, plate or replacement joint enters the body as a passive surface, and once implanted it cannot be routinely cleaned. 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. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The Medical page describes it in these words: “The NanoFlashing™ Medical Device captures and destroys viruses, bacteria and fungal spores through a physical mechanism.” 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. They also state: “Do not use Site Content to diagnose, treat, or make a patient-care or infection-control decision.”

All questionsWhat does a reported research result apply to?
A reported research result applies only to the test that produced it.
A reported result describes only what the identified test found. A test of C-POLAR material, a component, or a prototype does not establish the performance of a finished product that incorporates it. Construction, processing, storage, wear, cleaning, other components, and actual use may change the result. The Statement of Classification records that it addresses the classification question only, and that it states no efficacy data, and the Statement of Regulatory Status makes the same point for Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
