Science & Tech

Proprietary filtration physics, validated by third-party providers.

Bionique's architecture pairs a micro-spun wool/PLA matrix with a partially treated wool/PLA/PBAT nano-fiber layer. The result: high mechanical PM 0.3 capture and intrinsic gas-phase VOC adsorption in a single, biodegradable structure.

Stack anatomy

Stack anatomy

Two-stage capture across a 1.6 mm composite. The micro-spun matrix loads coarse and fine particulates while the PPK nano-fiber layer captures sub-micron particles. Wool keratin throughout the stack provides native VOC chemistry.

Reference

Two filtration mechanisms. One biodegradable structure.

Mechanical particulate capture

Bi-layered fiber architecture intercepts PM 10, PM 2.5 and PM 0.3 through diffusion, interception and inertial impaction.

Gas-phase VOC adsorption

Wool keratin presents reactive sites that bind formaldehyde, ammonia and a range of VOCs without coatings or additives.

Circular economy

Designed for the circular economy

End-of-life: Bionique media biodegrade — they don't accumulate as polymer waste. Combined with shorter input supply chains, lifecycle CO₂ falls significantly below comparable synthetic MERV 13 media.
