The VaPURE™ technology EnviroPure Mold Services uses has been studied by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and tested in independent GLP-compliant laboratories. Below are the three documents behind the work we do in your home, with a link to each one.
Three documents cover the technology EnviroPure Mold Services uses: a six-month field test by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a compilation of GLP-compliant independent laboratory efficacy reports, and Pure Maintenance's technical white paper on why the vapor behaves like a gas.
A six-month evaluation by the Army's Engineer Research and Development Center of the VaPURE™ application system on two occupied buildings at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. It measured both initial efficacy and recurrence over six months.
The U.S. Army needed a way to remediate mold inside occupied barracks without removing structural materials or relocating soldiers. The Engineer Research and Development Center evaluated the vapor-based application system across two buildings and compared spore counts before treatment, immediately after, and again six months later.
The study reports spore counts more than 95% lower at the six-month mark than before treatment. Those reductions held for half a year in occupied buildings, without a second treatment.
The full ERDC technical report is hosted publicly by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers digital library.
A compiled set of GLP-compliant independent laboratory tests of vapor peracetic acid (VPA), the chemistry behind the VaPURE™ process EnviroPure Mold Services uses.
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is the quality standard regulators set for laboratory studies. This compilation brings together a series of independent GLP-compliant lab tests of vapor peracetic acid (VPA), the chemistry behind the VaPURE™ treatment we use in your home.
The reports record a Log-6+ reduction (more than 99.9999%) across the organisms in the test panel, which included mold.
The compilation is hosted publicly and includes the methodology, organisms tested, and individual lab reports.
A technical explainer of the three variables that make the treatment behave like a gas: a 7.5μm particle size, the change from liquid to vapor, and dwell time.
The paper explains the physics behind the VaPURE™ process. Three variables together make the treatment behave like a gas rather than a liquid: particle size, phase change and dwell time.
Particle size. At 7.5μm, each vapor droplet is roughly 1/9th the diameter of a human hair. That is small enough to stay suspended in the air and move with it into wall cavities, ductwork, the space behind cabinets and porous building materials.
Phase change. The treatment starts as a liquid and flashes to vapor on application, so it disperses throughout the treated space instead of coating only the surfaces a sprayer can hit.
Dwell time. The vapor stays suspended long enough to treat the mold it contacts on surfaces and in the air.
Together, these explain how a single in-place treatment can reach inside walls and ductwork, places a scrub-and-cut crew can only get to by tearing materials out.
