NAPA Filters Adds
BioShield 75 To Cabin Filters for Increased
Protection
GASTONIA, NC, Oct. 30,
2006 — NAPA Filters, a leader in aftermarket
filtration, announces it is adding the antimicrobial
agent BioShield 75 to its cabin air filters
to inhibit the growth of mold, mildew, and
bacteria that can affect comfort and health.
BioShield 75 uses exclusive
patented technology developed by scientists
for INDUSCO Ltd. and has been approved by
the Environmental Protection Agency for
a wide variety of uses, including air filtration.
When treated with BioShield
75, filter surfaces are significantly less
susceptible to the growth of molds, mildew,
fungi, and odor-causing bacteria. BioShield
75 bonds to the filter and is not released
into the air, making it extremely safe.
NAPA Filters provides filters
for cars, light and heavy duty trucks, diesel
pickup trucks, tractors, heavy duty construction
and off-road and over the road heavy duty
vehicles. "Our filters are very efficient
at cleaning cabin air," said Mr. Jim
Bruney, Director of CRM - NAPA Filters.
"With the addition of BioShield 75,
they are now able to virtually eliminate
the odors, mold, and mildew that collect
on all filters over time. This means a cleaner,
healthier ride for the drivers and passengers."
The buildup of microbes
on a cabin air filter is most noticeable
with the air conditioning system is turned
on after a long period of inactivity and
a blast of moldy air comes out the AC vents.
"BioShield 75 virtually eliminates that
problem," said Mr. Bruney. "Much of the
odor in a car or truck comes from the buildup
of bacteria on filter surfaces. This happens
with all cabin filters, but now NAPA cabin
filters with BioShield 75 eliminates the
problem."
BioShield 75 is a revolutionary
way of inhibiting the growth of mold, mildew,
bacteria, and fungi. Unlike most other antimicrobial
agents, which poison the microbes, BioShield
75 physically attacks the microbes and renders
them inert.
"It is this physical process
that makes NAPA Filters with BioShield 75
so effective and so safe," said Joe Mason,
president of INDUSCO. "There are no poisons
involved. There is nothing harmful to humans."
NAPA Filters with BioShield
75 will be available early next year at
over 6,000 NAPA AUTO PARTS stores and 12,000
NAPA AutoCare Centers nationwide.
