What is NanoFlashing™?
NanoFlashing™ is a patented permanent positive polarity (3P) technology that attracts and captures negatively charged pollutants, including PFAS, ultrafine particles, wildfire smoke, and pollen.
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. Many airborne particles carry an electric charge, and many are negatively charged. NanoFlashing™ attracts negatively charged particles through electrostatic attraction. 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. NanoFlashing™ is passive. It generates no ozone, releases nothing, and adds nothing to what passes through.

Which application areas does C-POLAR describe?
C-POLAR describes five primary application verticals: Air, Water, Textiles, Food and Medical.
The About page puts it as “One Technology. Five Primary Application Verticals: Air, Water, Textiles, Food, Medical.” Each vertical has its own page: air at https://cpolar.tech/air/, water at https://cpolar.tech/water/, textiles at https://cpolar.tech/textile/, food packaging at https://cpolar.tech/food-packaging/ and medical at https://cpolar.tech/medical/. NanoFlashing™ is a permanent property of the finished products the partner makes: air filters, water filters, textiles, food packaging, and medical devices. 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 questionsWho makes commercial NanoFlashing™ products?
Every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format.
C-POLAR brings the science and the independent evidence behind it. Partners bring the products, the production lines, and the market knowledge. Development runs configuration by configuration, and each partner controls what is said about the work. Two products are named on the Air page: 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.

All questionsDoes the “captures and destroys” claim apply equally to all five application verticals, or only where there is a real product?
Each of the five application pages carries the same claim about viruses, bacteria and fungal spores, and the Terms of Use describe four of those chapters, Water, Textiles, Food packaging and Medical devices, as Research Applications.
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.” The Air page is the one that shows commercial products: under Commercial Proof it names INHALO™, a wall-mounted air cleaner built around a NanoFlashing™ Air Filter, and ReinFire™, a NanoFlashing™ Air Filter, with five ReinFire™ manufacturing and distribution partners: Aero Pro, AQ Filter, BGE Indoor Air Quality Solutions, Olympic International and VOLZ Filters. The Terms of Use 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 technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.
