3. Product Overview
The Rowenta XD6086 NanoCaptur Filter utilizes patented technology to permanently destroy formaldehyde, a common indoor pollutant. The filter contains yellow granules that change color to red as they become saturated with formaldehyde, indicating when replacement is necessary. As more formaldehyde is destroyed, the granules may turn brown.
