The Airlock™ Anti-Pathogen Purification based products are the latest in a long line of Cooper’s patented technology. An interdisciplinary physicist by training with over 30 years’ experience in commercialization, Cooper has over 40 patents and counting. In 2007, NASA deployed his first-generation water purification system on the International Space Station to remove viruses, bacteria, pharmaceuticals, and other contaminants from its closed loop water system. In 2008, Cooper’s technology was featured in the premier NASA publication “Spinoff: 50 Years of NASA-Derived Technologies.” That same year, the U.S. military enlisted Cooper to apply his technology to military-grade personal protective equipment (PPE) in order to protect against weaponized chemical and biological agents.
The resulting air purification media, the Airlock™ Anti-Pathogen Purification Component, is the basis for Airlock389’s currently technology. Its first commercial application is the Airlock™ AV100 Reusable Mask, engineered to provide long lasting comfort and breathability while protecting users from the COVID-19 causing coronavirus and other airborne pathogens.
