AKTIVO: THE DEFINITIVE FILTER

A clean filter, improves performance, increases comfort

Have you ever wondered why the main manufacturers of air conditioners foresee the insertion of electrostatic filters in their units? Simple Just think about the fact that to cool or heat a room with an air conditioner we have to keep doors and windows closed. Even if our houses are clean, this does not mean that there are no polluting agents and allergens of various kinds in different quantities: up to 250 species of mold (aspergillus, cladosporium), microbes and actinomycetes (bacteria resembling microscopic fungi) can contaminate the air we breathe.

In the space of twenty years, the energy saving and thermal insulation policy of buildings has halved the ventilation rate of the rooms, significantly degrading their air quality. The air flows of our climate keep harmful substances in circulation, exponentially increasing the chances that they will be breathed by those who stay in the rooms.

For this reason, filters are used, which precisely serve to capture the impurities present in the air-conditioned rooms at each passage of air through the air conditioning system. And it is always for this reason that duty of a correct periodic cleaning of our climate is imposed by sanitizing the indoor units and above all a change of the electrostatic filters used. Our health depends on the quality of the air we breathe!

AKTIVO electrostatic filters with AEMINA. This technology is unique in its kind: an antimicrobial substance (quaternary ammonium) is bonded to a silane (silicone derivative that alters the properties of a surface permanently) to obtain an organofunctional silane, i.e. a molecule active against microorganisms. In direct contact with microorganisms, AEMINA acts as a “destroyer” of membranes by interrupting normal life processes and killing the cell. The effect is caused by two forces: the first due to the aliphatic chain that attracts the lipids of the membrane, the second to the positive charge of the nitrogen atom is opposed to the negative charge of the microbe. So the former can be compared to a sword, the latter to an electrodestruction. The advantage is that the effect over time does not diminish or even wear out but above all it is not released into the environment. AEMINA’s antibacterial technology is unique because it is:

• Water resistant
• durable over time
• remains active even in depth
• compared to conventional antibacterials it does not have an inhibition halo
• it is not consumed by microorganisms
• it is not released into the environment.
