What is "Nano platinum filter"?
Nano platinum is a ceramic particle that includes a platinum nanoparticle. The particles are incorporated into the filter material, which results in pro* viding semi*permanent antibacterial and deodorizing characteristics for the filter. Nano platinum surpasses the catechin (a bioflavonoid that is found in green tea) in performance. Nano platinum filter uses this compound not only to improve air quality but also to eliminate bacteria and viruses. This air filter has a semi*permanent lasting effect even after washing it with water.
