HEPA First, NCCO Next: Complete Air Purification
Introduction
Did you know that the air inside your home can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air? At Alibuy, we believe traditional solutions are no longer enough. While ordinary filters only trap dust, we bring you a medical-grade advanced technology that was originally exclusive to hospitals and laboratories — now available for your home: NCCO Technology (Nano Confined Catalytic Oxidation).
This isn’t just a filter — it’s a reactor that destroys pollutants.
What is NCCO Technology?
NCCO stands for Nano Confined Catalytic Oxidation. Developed through a collaboration between RHT Industries Ltd. and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST Entrepreneurship Program), this technology tackles airborne gaseous pollutants and odors that traditional carbon filters or some HEPA systems cannot handle effectively.
Unlike carbon filters that act like a sponge and eventually stop working, NCCO works as a chemical reactor, breaking down pollutants into harmless substances instead of merely trapping them.
How Does It Work?
Think of NCCO as a mini air-recycling factory inside your device. The process happens in four main stages:
-
Adsorption (Capture): Nano-channels in the filter material capture pollutants such as formaldehyde, odors, VOCs, ammonia, and other harmful gases.
-
Oxidation (Breakdown): Active oxygen is released inside the nano-channels.
-
Catalytic Reaction: Special catalytic metals (usually porous nano/metal materials) help chemically decompose pollutants.
-
Result: Harmful gases and pollutants are transformed into harmless substances like water vapor (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂).
Thanks to this continuous reaction, the NCCO filter is self-regenerating, lasting years without the frequent replacements required by traditional carbon filters.
Comparison: NCCO vs. Traditional Filters
| Technology / Filter | How It Handles Pollutants | Replacement / Maintenance | Pollutants Removed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon / Traditional | Absorbs and retains pollutants (like a sponge) | Needs replacement every 2–4 months | Limited odors and light gases |
| HEPA Filter | Blocks solid particles, dust, fine debris | Requires periodic cleaning/replacement | Dust, lint, some solid particles |
| NCCO | Chemically decomposes pollutants | Long-lasting (up to 12 years) | Harmful gases, chemical odors, VOCs, ammonia, strong smells, some microbes/bacteria/viruses |
NCCO is not a replacement for HEPA — it’s complementary. HEPA captures solid particles, while NCCO breaks down gases, odors, and chemical pollutants.
Why NCCO Is a Smart Investment for Your Home
“The price seems high compared to regular devices.”
True, the initial cost may be higher, but over time, NCCO is more economical. Carbon filters require frequent replacement, while NCCO can last up to 12 years.
“Does this mean I don’t need a HEPA filter?”
No — a hybrid system (HEPA + NCCO) is ideal. HEPA handles solids; NCCO handles gases, odors, and chemical pollutants for full protection.
“Does the device release chemicals?”
No — all reactions occur inside a sealed nano-reactor, producing only safe byproducts in the outgoing air.
Practical Everyday Uses of NCCO
-
New furniture smell (formaldehyde)?
NCCO devices can break down formaldehyde instantly instead of just absorbing it. -
Kitchen or chemical odors?
NCCO decomposes VOCs and strong smells, keeping your home air cleaner and healthier. -
Children, elderly, or pets at home?
NCCO is safe for all family members thanks to its effective decomposition and non-toxic output.
Why Alibuy Believes in NCCO
At Alibuy, our goal isn’t just to sell a device — it’s to provide a long-term, effective solution for indoor air quality, combining scientific power with home comfort.
Conclusion
If you’re looking for more than just a filter — a real solution to indoor air quality — NCCO represents the future of clean air. It’s not just a “filter”; it’s a continuous cleaning reactor that removes pollutants effectively and sustainably.
At Alibuy, we bring this advanced technology to your home so you and your family can breathe safer, cleaner air. Experience the difference — it doesn’t just trap dust or odors, it eliminates them at the source.
