Antimicrobial Filtration Media

Antimicrobial performance starts with capture. The fine nanofiber structure removes airborne bacteria, mold spores, pollen and droplet nuclei with high efficiency at a low, stable pressure drop — taking the biological load out of the airstream in the first place, through filtration physics rather than chemistry.

What a filter captures, it can become a home for. The integrated antimicrobial finish inhibits microbial growth on the media surface, so collected bacteria and fungi don't colonize the filter. The media stays hygienic across its service life instead of turning into the very source it was installed to remove.

A colonized filter produces musty odor, biofilm and the risk of shedding microorganisms back into the air. By stopping growth at the media, Nexture antimicrobial media keeps delivered air fresh and avoids re-aerosolization — protecting the indoor air quality the filter exists to safeguard.

Media that resists colonization stays cleaner longer, holding performance and hygiene between changeouts. That means more dependable indoor air quality, less odor-driven early replacement, and lower lifetime cost — without relying on more frequent maintenance.

Built from non-fluorinated PP and PA6 with a non-fluorinated antimicrobial agent, the media is PFAS-free — consistent with the EU's proposed PFAS restriction and with the material-health criteria of WELL, LEED and other green-building frameworks. Hygiene and material health, without a fluoropolymer trade-off.

Antimicrobial activity on the media is characterized against established methods — ISO 22196 and ISO 20743 for antibacterial activity, ISO 18184 for antiviral activity — giving specifiers a transparent, comparable basis for the media's performance rather than an unsupported marketing label.
