Clair HC Launch - Beyond HEPA filter
After years of success in selling compact air purifiers, we tried our hand at developing a premium air purifier while adding on our own technology, Clair’s Embossed HEPA filter (CEPA). Through embossing the typical HEPA filter, we effectively gave it 13% more surface area which translates to about 10% better performance.
