The media layer behind
mission-critical air.
NXTNANO helps OEMs and filtration partners evaluate nanofiber media platforms for high-airflow, mission-critical environments where media construction, airflow behavior, and integration details matter.

Inside the finished filter: the layer NXTNANO supplies.
Scroll through the media stack. Each layer activates the cross-section on the right and clarifies where NXTNANO contributes versus where the OEM finished-filter partner takes over.
01
INCOMING AIRFLOW
Air enters carrying the contaminant profile.
Mission-critical environments deliver large air volumes with site-specific particulate loads, humidity ranges, and fan-energy targets. Finished filter systems must balance all three; the media layer is one piece of that decision.

SUPPORT / SUBSTRATE
A nonwoven substrate provides the carrier.
Before the nanofiber, the substrate sets the structural backbone of the media: pleatability, gas-permeable backing, and the mechanical platform the nanofiber adheres to during HYPR Spinning™.

NANOFIBER MEDIA LAYER
This is the layer NXTNANO engineers.
HYPR-Spun nanofiber is deposited directly onto the substrate during production: fiber diameter, basis weight, and pore size tuned to the application environment and integration model the OEM partner is building toward.

04
SCRIM / COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION
Composite construction protects the layer.
A downstream scrim or laminate often follows the nanofiber to provide pleat protection, mechanical durability, and integration into the OEM finished-filter geometry. NXTNANO can deliver media as surface coating, scrim format, or full membrane.

FINISHED FILTER INTEGRATION
The finished filter is built by the OEM.
Frames, pleat geometry, sealing, gasketing, and the system-level test data are designed by the finished-filter manufacturer and validated for the site's installation, standard, and operating envelope. NXTNANO partners on the media layer inside.

Engineering note
Final filter behavior depends on OEM construction, pleat geometry, and site test data. Sample testing required for any platform direction.
Platform direction reflects general material orientation. Application fit and performance always require sample evaluation and finished-filter integration review with the OEM partner.

Platform capabilities describe NXTNANO media properties and development pathways.
Finished filter performance depends on final filter design, test standard, installation, and operating environment. NXTNANO works with OEMs and partners to evaluate media fit through application-specific sample testing.
