The physical property

How does the published description distinguish polarity from a chemical reaction?

The published description calls polarity a physical property and says it does not rely on a chemical reaction.

The account on the NanoFlashing page runs in steps. Inside every atom, protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge. When a heavier atom joins a lighter atom, they share electrons, and the heavier atom has a stronger pull on the shared electrons, drawing them away from the lighter atom and closer to itself. This uneven sharing creates a negative side and a positive side. This is called polarity. Polarity is a physical property, like density or weight. It is built into the molecular structure and does not rely on a chemical reaction. In NanoFlashing™, these molecular pairs are aligned in the same direction, with their positive sides facing outward and their negative sides tucked inside. Together, they create a permanent positive polarity.

A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest.

How does NanoFlashing™ attract negatively charged particles?

NanoFlashing™ attracts negatively charged particles through electrostatic attraction.

Many airborne particles carry an electric charge, and many are negatively charged. Like a magnet, the positive polarity of NanoFlashing™ attracts negatively charged particles through electrostatic attraction. The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction. The charge does not act on organisms only: in single-pass laboratory testing the filter captured pine-needle smoke and ultrafine particles better than the control filter, and smoke is neither a pest nor alive.

The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir.

What does the description say happens after a pollutant is captured?

Once attracted, the particle is captured by NanoFlashing™, and when a captured pollutant has a fragile structure, NanoFlashing™ destroys it on contact through a physical mechanism.

The company's fuller statement of the same thing is in its Statement of Classification, at 2.6: “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.” Intended, on direct contact, by physical means, and only while captured are the limits of that statement.

What does the published description say about ozone and releases?

NanoFlashing™ is passive. It generates no ozone, releases nothing, and adds nothing to what passes through.

The NanoFlashing page states it twice, at step 4 of the account and again under Permanent Positive Polarity: it generates no ozone and adds nothing to what passes through. The Statement of Classification states at 2.4 that in use the ventilation system's own fan moves air through the filter, that the filter is passive, that it draws no power and has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir, that it generates no ozone and emits nothing into the air passing through it, and that the air leaving the filter has had nothing added to it.

That is a statement about what the filter gives off. The company makes no claim about removing ozone from air that already carries it.

Does the published description call NanoFlashing™ passive?

Yes.

The published description calls NanoFlashing™ passive, in those words.

The NanoFlashing page states: “NanoFlashing™ is passive. It generates no ozone, releases nothing, and adds nothing to what passes through.” The same page states that it doesn't run out, react or need a plug. The Statement of Classification states at 2.4 that the filter is passive, that it draws no power, and that it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir, and that the ventilation system's own fan moves the air through it.

The label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter states that no power is required and that there is no by-product such as ozone. A complete air cleaner still has to move air, and the fan that does it belongs to the appliance or to the building's system.

How does the Air page describe the filter's permanent positive polarity?

The Air page says the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge.

It states that the filter attracts and captures ultrafine particles and wildfire smoke, with no power and no chemicals. The company's own statement of the same property is that NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself, that it is a physical property of the filter, and that the polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. Its statement of what the filter does to what it captures is the one at section 2.6 of the Statement of Classification: “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.”

The Air page also names the two products built on that filter: INHALO™, a wall-mounted air cleaner built around a NanoFlashing™ Air Filter, and ReinFire™, a NanoFlashing™ Air Filter for homes and buildings. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.
