Hollingsworth & Vose (H&V), a global manufacturer of advanced materials used in products that provide clean air, clean liquids and energy storage, has won Waterloo Filtration Institute’s Product of the Year Award for its standards-setting NanoWave XT filtration media.

With NanoWave XT, H&V has introduced a new filtration media for use in HVAC systems that outperforms all other media – reducing exposure to hazardous fine particulates while lowering energy consumption.

The product reflects H&V’s commitment to sustainability and is beneficial for people, the planet and business performance. H&V’s NanoWave XT is used to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in numerous public facilities, including hospitals, schools, airports, hotels and more.

“We are thrilled to receive this award from WFI. At H&V we are committed to developing and producing advanced materials for a cleaner world. In a year when clean air has become so essential in all public spaces, we’re especially pleased to introduce this superior filtration media,” says Mike Clark, division president, High Efficiency and Specialty Filtration.

NanoWave® XT has the highest performance and protection against PM1 particles. It offers the best possible cost-efficiency and significant energy savings due to up to 40% lower pressure drop, which reduces CO2 emissions by 30%.

In addition to producing filtration media for HVAC systems, H&V is a leading producer of critical healthcare related materials, including filtration media for face masks, N95 respirators, materials used in the production of ventilators, surgical hoods, and consumables for COVID-19 test systems.
