For air purification measures in various places and spaces
Triporous™ quickly adsorbs various volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the air, such as ammonia and formaldehyde, and maintains clean air.
Technical properties
With its superior adsorption properties, Triporous can be applied not only to deodorizing filters in public facilities and filters in factories but also to home air purifiers and industrial masks.
VOC adsorption performance
- * Evaluated with the standard evaluation method of WHO (SOP 09).
Future possibilities
In the fields of medicine and health care, the use of Triporous for air purification within hospital buildings is anticipated along with its use for medical masks.
The development of energy-saving filters with negligible pressure loss and highly breathable high-performance masks are anticipated with the use of Triporous owing to its porous nature with macro- and mesopores.
Pressure loss by Triporous compared to conventional activated carbon
Furthermore, the creation of long-lasting chemical filters that are loaded with many chemicals is anticipated by utilizing the large volume of pores in Triporous.
When used as a chemical filter, the properties of Triporous should be useful in places that require very clean air, such as factories manufacturing advanced devices (semiconductors and liquid crystals) and museums that store valuable artefacts and artworks.

The unique microstructure and the remarkable adsorption properties of Triporous can be used not only for air purification, but also as a gas purifier for energy field and as a column packing material for analysis field, which cannot be resolved by conventional activated carbons.
