Keno Nanofiber Company Limited

Keno Nanofiber Company Limited is a nanofiber research, manufacturing, and solutions company. The company sought to provide their clients solutions that are only achievable through nanofiber technology.

Nanofibers are a versatile form of materials, capable of achieving high functionality at lower material and volume cost. Until recently, the technology for mass-production of nanofibers was insufficient to bridge the gap into mainstream use. The company shall be the bridge for nano-fibrous materials with the real-world use.

They are currently developing a state-of-the-art electrospinning machine to produce nanofibers. Their insight with the technology allows them to produce a machine capable of mass-processing a diverse range of materials into nanofibers.

Their current nanofiber project is on their nanofiber-based filter-media. Air pollution is a serious issue that had killed more than 3 million people each year. However, HEPA filters, the air-filter needed to prevent these, have been slowed to adopt due to various technical issues such as high-intrinsic pressure cost. Their nanofiber-based filter-media allows them to overcome these issues and allows HEPA cleaned air for public use. Their product has the potential to become the LED of filtration, replacing traditional glass-fiber fine filters for high-quality air at a lower cost and longer life.
