Advanced Materials
Powering Clean Air
SquairTech develops advanced Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), a class of porous materials recognized by the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, to optimize air quality and energy efficiency. From humidity control to pollutant removal, our solutions help industries reduce energy consumption, comply with regulations, and protect sensitive environments.
Humidity management,
a critical issue
Traditional systems consume vast amounts of energy. Poor humidity control affects comfort and health, disrupts critical industrial processes, and drives unnecessary energy use, contributing to climate challenges.
Air pollutant emissions,
a pressing challenge
Industrial processes release hazardous pollutants into the air, threatening both human health and the environment. As regulations tighten worldwide, industries struggle with solutions that are energy-intensive, short-lived, and insufficiently effective—reinforcing environmental and climate challenges.
Introducing SquairTech:
Advanced materials for smarter air systems.
SquairTech's MOF-based materials actively control humidity, capture pollutants, and reduce energy consumption. Seamlessly integrated into systems, our solutions deliver cleaner air and greater efficiency across residential, commercial, and industrial environments.
ST-Sorb26
Reduce energy consumption with advanced moisture control.
ST-Sorb13
Capture and neutralize harmful formaldehyde for cleaner, safer air.
ST-Cata26
Beyond capture, the first room temperature catalyst for NOx
From homes to industries, our solutions lower energy use and protect critical environments — driving the shift to sustainable air systems.
Learn moreHow it works ?
We use cutting-edge Metal-Organic Framework technology to capture pollutants and regulate humidity at a molecular level. Our materials are engineered for long-term stability, efficiency, and adaptability across a range of industrial applications.
Meet the Team
Like our materials, our team embodies a hybrid approach, drawing from the best of both worlds: scientific rigor and entrepreneurial creativity to turn advanced research into practical solutions for the air of tomorrow
