the development of nanoe technology deodorises frequently ... · nanoe™ technology development...

nanoe™ Technology development started with the aim of using water’s natural tendency to dissolve odour-causing substances to purify air. Panasonic completed a prototype nanoe™ unit with verified effects in 2002. Thereafter, Panasonic continues to streamline and improve the nanoe™ device throughout the years. In 2016, Panasonic succeeded in developing nanoe™ X device which generates 10x times more OH radicals compares to the previous nanoe™ device.

The Development of nanoeTM Technology

Odour causing substances such as cigarette smoke and garbage are removed to a hardly noticeable level.

nanoe™ X particles, which are smaller than steam droplets, penetrate deeply into fabric, where they carried out highly effective deodorisation.

nanoeTM X containing 10 times*9 more OH radicals can deodorise 10 times*8 faster than nanoeTM.

Frequently encountered odours including pet odours, damp, BBQ, sweat, garbage smell, scalp odour on pillow.

3 STEPS ON HOW TO INHIBIT GROWTH OF FUNGI

nanoeTM accurately reaches fungi. OH radicals break down fungi proteins. Inhibits the growth of fungi.

3 STEPS ON HOW TO INHIBIT ALLERGEN

nanoeTM accurately reaches allergen. OH radicals transform allergen proteins. Inhibits allergen.

INHIBITION OF GROWTH OF FUNGI

AIRBORNE FUNGI INHIBITION PERFORMANCE

nanoeTM X inhibits allergens, including dog and cat dander, mite frass and carcasses, fungal spores in the air. nanoeTM X containing 10 times *3 more OH radicals can inhibit *2 major allergens.

Inhibits Activity of Airborne Fungi *1 & Adhered Fungi *2nanoeTM X is effective in removing various airborne fungi *1 within a room as well as inhibiting the growth of adhered fungi *2
