Filti, an air filtration startup that produces nanofiber materials for face masks and HVAC filters, officially announced the launch of its new NF95 Respirator.
The pre-certified NF95 Respirators are constructed using the company's state-of-the-art nanofiber technology and is proven to filter 95% of aerosolized, airborne particles - like COVID-19 - moving through the material. Unlike a traditional N95 mask, the nanofiber material mechanically filters out pollutants as opposed to electrostatically filtering them.
Solid and liquid aerosols
Expected approvals and standards for this product include:
- Expected - NIOSH approved N95 respirator
- Expected - Meets NIOSH 42 CFR 84 N95 requirements for a minimum
- 95% filtration efficiency against solid and liquid aerosols that do not contain oil
- NIOSH Approval Number - TBA
- Expected BFE and PFE (third-party testing results)
- Expected level 3 blood splatter
Harmful airborne particles
"We designed these respirators to safeguard our customers and their families from harmful airborne particles including bacteria and viruses," said Dakota Hendrickson, co-founder of Filti. "With limited, high-quality and cost-effective respirator options on the market, we knew we could use our technology to provide an excellent, low-cost option for American households. All 100% Made in the USA."
Engineered for extreme comfort, with enhanced sealing capabilities and exceptional breathability, the Filti NF95 respirator is constructed with a spunbond, nonwoven and nanofiber composite media. During the soft launch phase, the company sold nearly 40,000 respirators.
