Precision Polymer Solutions
for Healthier Water
Reinventing Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for today's environmental challenges, setting a new standard for clean, healthy water.
Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs)
MIPs are engineered with highly specific binding sites that selectively target individual contaminants. Long trusted in pharmaceutical applications where safety and reliability are critical, this proven technology is now applied to water treatment.
MIPs function as selective capture systems engineered to recognize and bind only target molecules.
Unlike Traditional Methods, MIPs:
- ✓ Precisely target and capture PFAS, even at very low levels
- ✓ Maintain secure binding under changing flow and operating conditions
- ✓ Are easily configured into cartridges, columns, or large-scale systems
- ✓ Capture both long-chain (PFOA, PFOS) and short-chain (GenX, PFBS) variants
Exceptional Selectivity for Consistent Removal
Many contaminants, including PFAS, are present at trace levels requiring exceptional selectivity.
Secure Containment Capture
Selective, durable binding. Engineered binding sites precisely capture and retain PFAS, even at media saturation.
Reliable Holding Performance
A robust polymer structure maintains binding integrity across varying flow rates and operating conditions.
Flexible System Integration
Available in beads, columns, and customizable formats for seamless use across treatment systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about PFAS, polyCPTR technology, and our
water treatment solutions.
According to the EPA, PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) is a large class of manufactured chemicals, over 12,000 in number, first produced in the 1940s. They're known for resisting heat, water, and oil, thanks to strong carbon-fluorine bonds, earning them the nickname "forever chemicals." PFAS are found in everyday products like non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, water-repellent clothing, grease-resistant food packaging, and some firefighting foams. These chemicals persist in the environment and can accumulate in people, animals, water, soil, and air.
PFAS are called "forever chemicals" because they persist and accumulate in the environment and human body, leading to a range of harmful health effects, including cancer, immune system impact, cholesterol and metabolic issues, developmental effects, reproductive complications, and liver and kidney damage.
polyCPTR is designed to capture both long-chain (PFOA, PFOS) and short-chain (GenX, PFBS) PFAS, ensuring comprehensive treatment across diverse contamination profiles. polyCPTR can also be adapted to remove emerging contaminants beyond traditional PFAS compounds.
Yes, polyCPTR can operate as a standalone solution or integrate into an existing remediation system. Its modular design makes it compatible with a wide range of treatment architectures and existing infrastructure.
polyCPTR can permanently hold up to 90% of the PFAS it captures. Because of its permanent capture capabilities, polyCPTR can be disposed of without additional classification, as it is not at risk of leaching. This makes it a true remediation solution, not just a transfer of contamination.
Unlike activated carbon, which has low selectivity, reduced performance over time, and environmental risks from disposal, polyCPTR's Molecularly Imprinted Polymers offer precise targeting of PFAS at all chain lengths, consistent long-term performance, and safe disposal without leaching risks.
Based on lab testing, one pound of polyCPTR can clean up to 17 billion gallons of U.S. tap water at average PFAS levels. That is equivalent to supplying safe drinking water for 160,000 people for an entire year, or filling 25,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools. polyCPTR is designed for everything from small community systems to industrial-scale operations.
In April 2024, the EPA finalized the first national drinking water standard for PFAS, setting Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) of 4 parts per trillion for PFOA and PFOS. Public water systems have until 2027 to complete monitoring and 2029 to implement treatment technologies. polyCPTR is engineered to meet and exceed these limits.
polyCPTR pricing depends on your system flow rate, contamination profile, and deployment format. Because the media has very high capacity (one pound treats up to 17 billion gallons at trace levels) and a long replacement interval, total cost of ownership is typically well below activated carbon over a multi-year horizon.
