Description

Eliminate harmful VOC’s, viruses and bacteria, mould and fungi, dust mites and allergens

The Radic8 Hextio is an advanced air steriliser and air purifier which destroys a wide range of pollutants and odours including chemicals and fumes, odours, smoke particles, traffic pollution (including 81% of nitrogen dioxide), mould spores, pet dander, dust and dust mite, pollen, viruses and bacteria. It destroys pollutants that HEPA filtration cannot catch.

Hextio was a Smogathon 2017 finalist and the only air purifier technology and only team from the UK to get through to the final, verifying its benefits for reducing pollutants in indoor air.

Reactor chamber enhances pollution destruction

To ensure maximum Photo-Catalysis for optimum levels of pollution destruction, the reactor chamber consists of 1UVC (ultra violet C) lamp, 9 chrome coated TiO2 (titanium dioxide) hexagon filters and a chrome coated housing. The mirrored reactor chamber increases the UV efficiency by 10 times and the sterilization rate in the chamber is very high. The reator cell lasts for up to 8000hrs (average 3yrs). The filter change indicator for the Reactor Cell ensures the unit is working to its full potential at all times.

Hextio is compact, stylish, cost effective, fully automatic & super efficient

We are hearing more and more about the need for air purifiers in our home to tackle the rise in indoor pollutants and this little model is an air steriliser plus purifier and is unobtrusive as well as stylish. This super efficient technology is both fully automatic and cost effective so it can be left on all the time to deal with any pollutants or allergens which come into your air space. The activated carbon filter in the unit interacts with the UV (do not look directly at this light) and PCO (photo catalytic oxidation) greatly increasing efficiency and longevity and the sirocco fan was chosen for its better quality, higher efficiency and lower noise output and has a higher air output.

Visual air quality indicator

The Radic8 Hextio is fully automatic and incorporated in the technology are dust, germ and VOC sensors that constantly sample the air and react accordingly by glowing red and switching to full fan speed until the contaminant has been dealt with. Just plug it in and let the Hextio do the rest.

Sleep mode for peaceful sleeping

When switched to sleep mode the unit runs at 10% power reducing fan noise for a comfortable night’s sleep. The LED lights switch off eliminating any light coming from the unit.

Directional Hood

The Hextio comes with both the original fragrance filter hood and the NEW Directional Hood. The Directional Hood enables you to point the air flow towards you so that you can breathe clean air both at home or on your desk at work. The new hood clips on so that you can use the Hextio either upright or lying down.

Wall mounted or free standing

The Hextio is compact enough to be hung on the wall or placed on a level surface, both giving you the ultimate in clean fresh air.

This is a very efficient all round air steriliser / air purifier that is best suited to destroying VOCs, germs, mould and fungi, bacteria and viruses and fine dust particles. For particle removal only we recommend an air purifier with an effective HEPA filter.

Ideal for one room use – up to 20 m²

Hextio is ideal for one room use, though it is small and light so easy to move from one room to another. It is suitable for kitchen use but should be turned off while actually cooking as the oils created during cooking can damage the reactor cell. We recommend leaving the machine off while cooking and switching it back on 10 minutes after cooking is finished.

General Filtration Info

Simplified information on how to choose your air purifier

Here at Radic8^® we understand that it can be a minefield choosing which air purifier suits you best. From allergies and sensitivites to budgets and varying local air conditions there are an infinite combination of issues to deal with.

The world of air purifiers offers all forms and variations on technologies to tackle air quality in the home. There are a wide range of filters available including True HEPA, HEPA-type, Ionisers and Photocatalytic filters to name but a few. There are also a wide variety of filters that are offered on individual machines. It can certainly be quite confusing.

At Radic8^® we provide all of the technical information on the different technologies. We have also provided this information in a condensed and simplified format.

Please find below the simplified information to help you make a more informed choice.

Please note that for more detailed information on the various types of filters, we would recommend that you read the more detailed information provided for a greater understanding.

Our research scientist Dr Chunli Cao (PhD, CEng, Fellow of CBISE, MIMech) explains transmission of COVID-19 and the importance of Air Filtration.

What are the routes of transmission of the novel coronavirus?

• COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly through close contact from person-to-person in respiratory droplets from someone who is infected. People who are infected often have symptoms of illness. Some people who show no signs of illness may also be able to spread the virus. ‘COVID-19 is a new disease and we are still learning about how it spreads and the severity of illness it causes’ - CDC (Centre of Disease Control)

Person-to-person spread

• Current understanding about how the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads is largely based on what is known about similar coronaviruses. Person-to-person spread. Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet [1.8 metres])

• Via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

• These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

• How easily a virus spreads from person-to-person can vary. Some viruses are highly contagious, like measles. Another factor is whether the spread is sustained, which means it goes from person-to-person without stopping.

• The virus that causes COVID-19 is spreading very easily and sustainably between people. Information from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic suggest that this virus is spreading more efficiently than influenza.

Spread from contact with infected surfaces or objects • It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/transmission.html

Can the coronavirus aerosol be contained or cleansed?

• Government studies in the UK and USA conclude that air purification is key to containing aerosol transmission. The DNO catalyst filters we use at Purer Clean Air^® eliminates airborne pollutants, bacteria and viruses completely.

• A paper regarding aerosol transmission was released by ASHREA in April 2020 has emphasised that distributed air purification is the route to better purification of air. Their conclusions about aerosol transmission regarding COVID-19 are below:

When appropriately selected and deployed, single-space high-efficiency filtration units (either ceiling mounted or portable) can be highly effective in reducing/lowering concentrations of infectious aerosols in a single space. They also achieve directional airflow source control that provides exposure protection at the patient bedside.

Statement on airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2: Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 through the air is sufficiently likely that airborne exposure to the virus should be controlled. Changes to building operations, including the operation of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems, can reduce airborne exposures.

• All Purer Clean Air® purifiers are 3rd party tested.

COVID-19 is a coronavirus. Commercial labs are currently not allowed to use COVID-19 in test labs.
To mitigate this scientists use other strains of coronavirus to test COVID-19 kill rates for air purifiers.
We have had our units tested by the worlds leading virus testing facility SGS of Switzerland.
SGS test our units vs the H1N1 coronavirus, this is a smaller particle than COVID-19.
H1N1 size is 0.08 microns, COVID-19 size is 0.12 microns.
Our filters can kill particles as small as 0.003 microns.
Our air purifiers kill rate for coronavirus is 99.99%.

• Our Medical Grade DNO filter technology sets us apart from our competitors. We use patented innovative new technology that captures, kills and converts pollutants, bacteria and viruses.

• This technology is called D-orbital Nano Oxide DNO multi-functional Pollution Removal Technology. DNO is the most advanced technology on the market, combined with High performance Filters (HEPA), it can remove and kill pollutants, bacteria, viruses and even some of the smallest pollutant particles from the air.

• Yes – this includes the COVID-19 Virus. In fact, the filters capture, kill and convert particulate matter even smaller than the COVID-19 virus!!

• Our Medical Grade Integrated high-quality DNO filter with five layers traps particles via the primary layer, high-efficiency layers and nano-catalyst layers.

• Whether it is large particles such as floating dust in the air, or small micron-level harmful substances including bacteria and viruses, it can all be effectively captured and killed by our filters.

• The high-efficiency DNO Catalyst in the filter element decomposes various harmful gases such as Nitrogen Dioxide, Sulphur Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Ozone, bacteria, virus (including COVID-19), formaldehyde, odour from tobacco and alcohol.

• Our filter performance is more than 8 times that of ordinary activated carbon filters. Any gas pollutants, bacteria, viruses and micron-level particulates will be captured by the HEPA 13 filter and then killed and converted by the DNO catalyst filters into invisible and harmless water, carbon dioxide and Oxygen!

• Many of our competitor air purification brands will capture contaminants but not convert the pollutants. This means if a virus or bacteria is still living when a filter is cleaned or changed, the pollutant may transfer to the user or be released back into the atmosphere.

• Some competitor air purification systems will capture and convert the contaminant but can cause harmful pollutants such as viruses and Ozone to be released back into the atmosphere.

• Our Medical Grade Filters Capture, Kill and Convert using DNO Technology – The safe way to get Purer Clean Air®!!

• Our colleagues in China are helping the effort to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 50 units of the HA800 Air Purifier have been gifted to front line hospitals to provide clean, safe and virus free air.

• The HA800 Units were gifted to hospitals in the Shandong Province with the highest number of A&E admissions.

• The dedicated work of the medical staff has seen the rate of infection in patients and staff decrease to their lowest rates. We are proud that our Air Purifier filter technology is supporting the medical teams at such a difficult time. Our UK team are offering the same support to the NHS.
