Innovative Labs provides a total solution for your air purification needs by using two unique catalytic technologies : • Photo Catalytic Purification- Indoor air environments with extreme levels of VOCs • Thermo Catalytic Purification – Indoor air environments with typical VOC levels

Photo Catalyst-Titanium Dioxide • Reacts with UV light to photo catalytically destroy VOCs • Operates at room temperature • Self cleaning/ nontoxic • Innovative Labs proprietary nanoparticle technology

Photo Catalytic Process The graph below depicts the PCO process in action

NASA, CDC and FEMA Testing • In 2007 Innovative Labs participated in a government grant program to develop a technology to remove formaldehyde and VOCs from the FEMA trailers during Hurricane Katrina • Out of 17 competitors Innovative Lab’s PCO technology was the most effective in removing formaldehyde and VOCs • The following slides represent the test data conducted by the CDC in accordance with FEMA requirements

CDC and FEMA Test Data for PCO Process Innovative Labs formerly Aria Acqua Normalized ratios of baseline samples for formaldehyde in FEMA trailers post-Hurricane Katrina. Value of 1.0 : no effect on formaldehyde concentrations. Value of 0.75 : moderate reduction of formaldehyde Value of 0.5 : significant reduction of formaldehyde *MaxxAir Vent used no catalytic technology, used only outdoor air exchange

LBNL Test Results for PCO Monoliths The data below depicts the first pass conversion efficiency of titanium dioxide PCO on VOCs

Continued Advancement in Air Purification • Innovative Labs continues to engineer technologies in the air purification market by developing new thermo catalytic, nanoparticle manganese oxide materials • Manganese oxide ( MnO x ) offers an effective solution to air purification with reductions in energy usage providing rapid ROI • With two unique technologies ( MnO x & TiO 2 ) Innovative Labs provides solutions for a wide variety of indoor air environments

Manganese Oxide 𝑁𝑜𝑃 𝑦 Thermal Catalyst for the Destruction of Formaldehyde and VOCs

Thermal Catalyst-Manganese Oxide • The thermal catalytic process does not require UV light- Reduced energy consumption and simplifies installation • Active at Room Temperature • Catalytically oxidizes formaldehyde and VOC’s into 𝐷𝑃 2 and 𝐼 2 𝑃 • Longevity

System Configuration Testing • Testing performed on systems configured for various applications and VOC environments using in-house test chambers • Ti0 2 photo catalyst • MnO x thermal catalyst • Mixed system MnO x /TiO 2

Different Markets Require Different Filter Configurations Commercial Office Building Funeral Industry Home/ Residential According to the World Health The embalming fluid that is injected to the Formaldehyde is released into the home Organization Committee up to 30% of new arterial system, to replace blood, is up to from a variety of indoor sources. Including and remodeled buildings worldwide may 5 percent formaldehyde, while a more resins, or glues, plywood, particleboard, be subject of excessive complaints related concentrated form — up to 50 percent fabrics, gas appliance use, and cigarette to indoor air quality. – EPA formaldehyde — is injected into the body smoking. – Air Resources Board cavity. -The New York Times Innovative Labs Offers Filters for HVAC and Standalone Applications

Vent Mounted IAQ Module MnO 2 Filter configuration Innovative Labs TiO 2 filter or MnO x filter can TiO 2 Filter easily be mounted in a central ventilation configuration system

In-Duct Filters • Manufactured to OEM specifications • Outside dimensions • Thickness • Cell size • Nanoparticle coating • Innovative Labs can supply privately labeled filters

Rooftop HVAC Install Option Typical HVAC Unit internal install Certain HVAC units have a slot designed to accept the TCO and PCO units – if not then a small duct unit can be built into the recirculation of the HVAC unit.

HVAC UV/PCO System Trial * Results based on report issued by UTRC, Sept 2004

Standalone System Configuration Examples

Unique Benefits of Both Technologies MnO x TiO 2 • Active at room • Active at room temperature temperature • Low pressure drop • Low pressure drop • Passive, no UV light • UV light activated to needed handle high VOC levels • Energy savings • UV 254 nm kills bacteria, • Residential replacement viruses, and fungal period 180-360 days spores • Commercial replacement • Replace annually period 90-180 days

Summary • TiO 2 & 𝑁𝑜𝑃 𝑦 monoliths have high rate of destruction for formaldehyde and other VOC’s • Both provide high longevity, no significant loss of activity • MnO x is a passive technology, no additional catalytic energy source required (UV light) • TiO 2 & MnO x retain high activity under constant exposure to formaldehyde (150-250 ppb) • TiO 2 is ideal for applications with high formaldehyde levels
