## 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. It captures and destroys 99.99% of a broad spectrum of viruses, bacteria, and fungal spores through a physical mechanism. It generates no ozone and adds nothing to what passes through.

## Permanent Positive Polarity (3P)

Our patented NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity (3P), carried by five primary application verticals. It generates no ozone and adds nothing to what passes through. It does not require retrofit.

## How NanoFlashing™ Works

Step 1 — Inside every atom, protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge.

Step 2 — When a heavier atom joins a lighter atom, they share electrons. The heavier atom in this pair has a stronger pull on the shared electrons, drawing them away from the lighter atom and closer to itself.

Step 3 — 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.

Step 4 — 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. This is a physical property. NanoFlashing™ is passive. It generates no ozone, releases nothing, and adds nothing to what passes through.

Step 5 — 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.

Step 6 — 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.

## Attract. Capture. Destroy.

Everything carries a charge. Opposites attract. That simple principle is behind NanoFlashing™.

Most pollutants carry a negative charge. NanoFlashing™ is a patented permanent positive polarity (3P) that attracts and captures them.

It doesn’t run out, react or need a plug. And when a captured pollutant has a fragile structure, NanoFlashing™ destroys it on contact through a physical mechanism.

## It does not fade.

Conventional electrostatic charges fade in service, dragging performance down with them. An EPA study shows that just 10 milligrams of smoke can cut a conventional MERV 13 electrostatic filter’s clean-air delivery by [about 95%](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9828579/). During the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, a typical home system could take in that much smoke in roughly two minutes.

NanoFlashing™ does not fade. Independent testing pushed 100x more smoke through filters than in the EPA study. These filters still captured > 90% of ultrafine particles, while a conventional electrostatic filter captured < 20%. These particles are small enough to penetrate deep into the lungs, and some can enter the bloodstream.
