-
What is IN-EX?
IN-EX is A.L. GROUP’s proprietary sono-chemical impregnation technology. It upgrades standard filter media into a functional filtration platform by embedding active particles into the fiber matrix using a clean, water-based ultrasonic process.
-
How does IN-EX work?
IN-EX uses ultrasonic energy to embed functional particles inside the filter media structure. Unlike surface coatings, the process is designed to avoid pore-blocking layers while preserving airflow or liquid-flow performance.
-
Does IN-EX use PFAS-based coatings?
No. IN-EX is a water-based process developed without PFAS-based coatings, binders or glues. It is designed as a cleaner alternative to conventional surface treatment methods.
-
What applications can IN-EX be used for?
IN-EX can be adapted for different filtration fields where functional media performance is required. Potential applications include automotive cabin filtration, HVAC systems, indoor air quality solutions and selected industrial filtration uses.
-
