Nanofibers are widely used in filtration due to their high surface area, small pore size, and high porosity. These properties make them highly effective in air and water filtration, including applications in air purifiers, water filters, and face masks. Nanofibers help remove particulate matter, viruses, and bacteria from the air. They offer high filtration efficiency, low pressure drop, and a long service life, making them suitable for air purifiers and HVAC systems. Electrospun nanofibers improve air filtration by providing a smaller pore size and higher specific surface area than traditional filters. These characteristics enhance particle capture and overall filtration efficiency. Nanofiber layers can be coated onto various filter substrates for use in automotive, power plants, and industrial air filters. The following figure compares the efficiency and pressure drop of a standard air filter versus a nanofiber-coated air filter. As shown, NanoSpin's nanofiber-coated filter significantly improves filtration efficiency while maintaining a minimal increase in pressure drop.
