Securing filter structure and leachability safety
through NSF certification of water purifier carbon filters
SEOUL,
South Korea, July 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- PureSphere(CEO: Lee
Jihn-Koo) announced that its carbon filter for pure water
(product model: PureCarbon Filter M), which applies
functional carbon materials, has received certification from the US
National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), an international accredited
organization, for the structure and stability of leachability.
PureSphere anticipates that this certification will facilitate
market entry for its business of carbon filters applied with
functional carbon materials.
NSF is the National Sanitation Foundation in the United States, developing standards and
specifications for consumer products and environmental safety
worldwide. It is particularly designated as a collaborating center
for food safety, water quality, and indoor environment by the World
Health Organization (WHO), thus being a highly credible
certification body.
The certification obtained by PureSphere includes NSF/ANSI 42
and NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 certifications for filter cartridges. NSF 42
certification ensures the safety of human consumption in household
water purifiers, while NSF 372 recognizes the lead content
stability in filter cartridges.
PureSphere's water purification filter, made with eco-friendly
filters applying high-purity functional carbon materials, does not
contain inorganic metals or heavy metals within activated carbon.
It does not require separate molding processes using binders for
water treatment, making it most suitable for drinking water
treatment.
Moreover, in carbon material molding processes using
ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW PE) binders,
performance degradation of materials and inevitable generation of
microplastics in water are issues. However, PureSphere applies
high-purity functional carbon materials harmless to humans in
filters, eliminating molding processes and preventing the
generation of microplastics underwater.
CEO Lee Jihn-Koo of PureSphere
commented, "Through this 'NSF 42/372 certification,' we are now
able to introduce competitive products in the rapidly strengthening
environmental regulations and progressively downsizing water
purifier market," and added, "We will accelerate market penetration
in the water purification market with our proprietary technology
applying functional carbon materials."
Meanwhile, PureSphere is focusing its efforts on developing and
commercializing various environmental facilities including multiple
atmospheric environmental catalysts, net zero gas purification
catalysts and adsorbents, using various transition and precious
metals, aiming toward a low-carbon society and carbon
neutrality.
