Fiber Bond, of Michigan City, IN, is announcing the release of VE3 Technology, new engineered chemistry that inactivates SARS-CoV-2. Lab testing concludes that Fiber Bond’s VE3 Technology inactivates 99.99% of the airborne SARS-CoV-2 virus within 15-minutes. The VE3 Technology is a value-added chemistry, developed in-house at Fiber Bond, and can help to stop the spread of Covid-19 in any facility with an HVAC system.

The patent pending VE3 Technology captures and inactivates the SARS-CoV-2 virus within the nonwoven media of Fiber Bond HVAC air filters. Fiber Bonds VE3 Technology was “evaluated for its ability to inactivate SARS-coronavirus type 2” by Microbac Laboratories, Inc., and “demonstrated a 99.99% inactivation of the virus challenged.”

In March 2020, shortly after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, Fiber Bond’s team of engineers focused their expertise on the conceptualization and production of an HVAC-compatible filtration product with the ability to capture and eliminate the SARS-CoV-2 virus within an engineered binder system.

In-house research and development of VE3 Technology successfully and swiftly progressed at the Fiber Bond facilities in Michigan City, IN. And, by late 2020, Microbac Laboratories, tested the VE3 Technology for capturing and inactivating the airborne SARS-CoV-2 virus.

“This technology development undertaken by our Fiber Bond technical team is a testament to our ongoing efforts on providing products that enhance air quality. The VE3 technology is focused on providing an additional safeguard against airborne viral particles, specifically Covid-19, and is a great complement to our product portfolio that already includes antimicrobial products. Cleaner air helps to maintain a safer environment for all of us,” says Greg Wilkerson, president & CEO of Fiber Bond and Blocksom & Company
  
VE3 Technology is designed to work in residential, commercial, and industrial HVAC systems to provide equivalent protection against SARS-CoV-2 in high-efficiency air filters. The VE3 Technology is added to the adhesive bonding agent used in the manufacturing of Fiber Bond’s nonwoven filtration media for HVAC applications. VE3 also includes Fiber Bond’s exclusive EPA-certified Spor-Ax antimicrobial agent for eliminating fungal bacteria growth on the filter media.
