Abstract
There is provided a protective media and a method of manufacturing the same. In one aspect, the protective media includes a porous dielectric carrier, an active agent incorporated in the porous dielectric carrier, and an electrostatic charge across at least a portion of the porous dielectric carrier. This innovative media is capable of eradicating microorganisms and/or toxins more efficiently than prior art solutions and can also self sterilize.
Claims17
A protective media for filtering and killing microorganisms in air, said protective media comprising:
- a porous dielectric carrier;
- a biocidal active agent incorporated in or on said porous dielectric carrier, said active agent being an iodinated resin;
- and
- an electrostatic charge across at least a portion of said porous dielectric carrier, wherein said porous dielectric carrier is a non-woven material, and wherein said porous dielectric carrier is capable of holding an electrostatic charge in the presence of said biocidal active agent.
A protective media for filtering and killing microorganisms in air, said protective media comprising:
- a first porous dielectric carrier;
- a first active agent incorporated in said first porous dielectric carrier, said first active agent being a biocidal iodinated resin;
- an electrostatic charge across at least a portion of said first porous dielectric carrier;
- a second porous dielectric carrier;
- a second active agent incorporated in said second porous dielectric carrier;
- and
- an electrostatic charge across at least a portion of said second porous dielectric carrier, wherein each of said first porous dielectric carrier and said second porous dielectric carrier is a non-woven material, and wherein said first porous dielectric carrier is capable of holding an electrostatic charge in the presence of said biocidal iodinated resin.
