Serionix Featured on WCIA
Champaign’s WCIA featured Serionix President and co-founder, James Langer, to share more about air quality, air filtration, and face masks. Langer earned his Ph.D. in Material Science and Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
As a result of COVID-19, more people have focused on air quality and filtration. Serionix creates high-performance filters based on a proprietary adsorptive coating technology called Colorfil™, which changes colors as it removes toxic chemicals and odors from the air while killing viruses, bacteria, and mold. Through an intuitive, vibrant color change, Colorfil™ lets users know when the filters are working and when they aren’t.
In response to COVID-19 and a global need for PPE, Serionix developed the Seri Mask, a mask that alerts the user when the internal filter needs to be replaced. The mask is also optimized for athletic use and comfort.
Serionix previously received a $750,000 contract from NASA to fund continued development of filters to remove toxic gases from next-generation spacesuit life support systems.
