Benefits
of HEGA - High Efficiency Gas Adsorption

are low.
HEGA
Technology Explained
Most people have heard of HEPA filtration which is HIGH EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE
ADSORPTION filtration (good for small particles such as dust, danger,
pollen, mold, etc.)
Some allergy sufferers also need chemicals, odors, and gases removed from
their environments (new homes, city living, apartment living). This type
of gas filtration is usually achieved by using some type of carbon or
carbon/zeolite pellets to absorb the gases and odors. Some manufacturers
are now also using a carbon cloth filter for gas and odor control. Wouldn't
it be great to combine both technologies to remove particulates, gases
and odors?
Austin Air's product
development team listened and developed a method for combining the carbon
cloth's gas trapping properties with HEPA particles filtration. Austin
engineers named their new filtration discovery HEGA - High Efficiency
Gas Adsorption. Activated carbon is woven into a lightweight cloth,
which is powerful enough to protect military personnel from toxic poisons.
