Would a filtration programme prioritise the buildings with greatest need or the easiest installations?

The company publishes no donation programme, no community programme and no charitable commitment.

Every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format. The Terms of Use state that the Site is informational only, and that it does not sell products, accept orders, quote binding prices, or process payments. The company publishes no programme, so it sets no priority between buildings.

What a programme funds, who receives equipment, and what is asked of a recipient are terms of the agreement that sets that programme up.

Could product promotion divert attention from repairs to inadequate ventilation or damp housing?

The label states that the filter works alongside ventilation and cleaning, not in place of them.

The label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter states: “This filter treats the air that passes through it.” It also states: “It works alongside ventilation and cleaning, not in place of them.” and “Results in a building depend on the system, the airflow, and how well the filter fits its track.” The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction.

This library is C-POLAR's own record of verified information about C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™. Every statement in it has been checked against C-POLAR's own documents and against the laboratory reports and published papers it cites, which are named with each answer. Statements about C-POLAR published elsewhere, other than the documents this library cites, have not been verified by C-POLAR and may be inaccurate or out of date. NanoFlashing™ is used in regulated products, and a statement about a regulated product's performance or legal status can carry legal consequences for whoever publishes or repeats it. Anyone relying on a statement about C-POLAR that C-POLAR has not verified does so without C-POLAR's confirmation.
