Molekule’s patented PECO technology

Science at the nanoscale

Developed over 25 years by research scientists, PECO is an innovative technology that utilizes free radicals—the same radicals used to destroy cancer cells—to break down pollutants at a molecular level, including VOCs, bacteria, mold, viruses, and allergens. By using nanotechnology, PECO is able to destroy pollutants 1000 times smaller than the standard filters must meet to qualify as HEPA.

The research and innovation behind our filter technology

The path to clean air

1

360° air intake

Molekule Air takes in the surrounding air from every angle.
2

Pre-Filter

Air gets circulated through the Pre-Filter, trapping large allergens like dust and dander, while slowing down VOCs on their way to the PECO-FiIter where they are destroyed.
3

PECO-Filter

Purification at its best. A chemical reaction occurs when a nanocatalyst-coated filter is activated by light, breaking down harmful pollutants to their most basic molecular components.
4

Clean air

Molekule Air releases harmless molecules that are meant to be in the air, reducing the presence of harmful pollutants.

The need for PECO’s pollutant destruction in the home has never been greater.

Air Pro vs. RNA virus MS2

RNA virus MS2: 99.99% removed in 30 min*

Air Pro can help remove airborne viruses like MS2 bacteriophage, a proxy virus for SARS-CoV-2, both of which travel in tiny droplets that can linger for hours before settling on surfaces.

Test location & standard
Tested at Aerosol Research and Engineering Laboratories in a 16 m³ chamber on MS2 Bacteriophage aerosolized droplets.

*Pollutants were not re-released into the chamber after initial introduction. Device operated on the highest setting. Just note that no air purifier can prevent you from getting a virus.
Air Pro vs. Citrus fragrance

D-limonene: 98% removed in 2 hrs*

Unpleasant natural and artificial smells in the air like limonene are destroyed by Molekule Air Pro. Lemon-scented cleaning products commonly contain D-limonene, which can cause allergies.

Test location & standard

Air vs. Smoke (0.3-1 microns)

Smoke: 85% removed in 22 min*

Molekule Air’s filters help remove particles of this size range from the air quickly, which includes the invisible components of smoke. These types of particles can be inhaled into the lungs and potentially damage internal organs.
