HEGA Technology Explained
Most people have heard of HEPA filtration which is HIGH EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE ABSORPTION filtration (good for small particles such as dust, danger, pollen, mold, etc.).
Some allergy sufferers also need chemicals, odors, and gases removed from their environments (new homes, city living, apartment living). This type of gas filtration is usually achieved by using some type of carbon or carbon/zeolite pellets to absorb the gases and odors. Some manufacturers are now also using a carbon cloth filter for gas and odor control. Wouldn't it be great to combine both technologies to remove particulates, gases and odors?
Austin Air's product development team listened and developed a method for combining the carbon cloth's gas trapping properties with HEPA particles filtration. Austin engineers named their new filtration discovery HEGA - High Efficiency Gas Absorption. Activated carbon is woven into a lightweight cloth, which is powerful enough to protect military personnel from toxic poisons.
