Kronos Advanced Technologies (OTC: KNOS) has announced distribution of a revolutionary new air-purification device engineered for personal-space protection (https://nnw.fm/LQlZv). The ViralWall(TM) is designed to be placed between individuals, draw in their exhaled air, kill or disable pathogens as they move through the patented graphene-based air filter, and then release disinfected pathogen-free air.
The first-ever self-sterilizing graphene air purifier on the market, the ViralWall was developed by Israel-based R&D company LIGC Application Ltd. “In the absence of better filtration technology, the indoor spaces where we spend most of our ‘normal’ life — schools, stores and workplaces — due to COVID-19, presented a real risk,” stated LIGC cofounder and CEO Yehuda Borenstein. “Our technology will provide cleaner and more breathable air with lower energy and maintenance costs and virtually silent sound levels. We are very pleased that Kronos has agreed to distribute our advanced technology and products in the USA.”
Becoming the exclusive national distributor of this innovative device aligns with the focus of Kronos Advanced Technologies, a company committed to changing the way indoor air is filtered and disinfected. According to the company’s distribution announcement, “the device will act as a weapon against all bacteria and viruses, including antibiotic-resistant ‘superbugs,’ so its uses will extend well beyond the end of the pandemic.
“The technology for this device grew out of a partnership between research groups at Rice University, Houston, Texas, and at the Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (‘BGU’), Israel,” the announcement continued. “Both teams were working on graphene-related projects. Often described as a ‘super material,’ a graphene is a form of carbon that measures just one atom thick. It is the thinnest and strongest material known and is flexible, transparent and highly conductive of both electricity and heat.”
During the research, the Rice University developers determined that they could make a flexible air filter from porous and conductive graphene foam, called laser-induced graphene or LIG; in addition, they discovered that when they added small electrical pulses, the filter could kill airborne pathogens. These realizations led to the creation of the graphene-based ViralWall. “The graphene air filters will be more efficient, cost-effective, consume less energy, and require far less maintenance than other air filters currently on the market,” said Kronos CEO Michael Rubinov.
The global graphene market was estimated at more than $94.4 million in 2020, with GrandView Research projecting it would grow at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 43.2% from 2021 to 2028. KNOS is eyeing that growing market as it looks to develop and support disruptive manufacturing methods and graphene-based futuristic products today. Its distribution agreement with LIGC supports that strategy. LIGC has developed and owns a patented portfolio of revolutionary technologies for manufacturing processes to produce high-quality, low-cost 3D graphene. This graphene can be used in an array of applications, including air and water purification, biosensors, energy storage, and others. KNOS anticipates making many LIG offerings at its electronics manufacturing facility in West Virginia.
Kronos is focused on next-generation, wellness consumer-electronics products and PPE solutions. Originally founded in 2002 and funded by the U.S. military to develop electrostatic air movers, KNOS has since evolved into the consumer air-purification space, initially focusing on developing, marketing and selling its proprietary air movement and purification technology. Proprietary KNOS technology is now also being implemented in multiple standalone products for businesses, homes and vehicles of all types to move, sterilize and filter air.
Kronos Advanced Technologies is exploring broad ranges of additional markets for standalone and embedded Kronos CORE technology-based devices, including schools, universities, healthcare facilities, operating rooms, manufacturing clean rooms, automobile and commercial aircraft cabins, and specialized air filters for bitcoin-mining farms.
