HENDERSON, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 17, 2005--Emergency Filtration Products Inc. (EFP) (OTCBB: EMFP - News ) today announced that it is producing NanoMask filters at its new production facility in Henderson, Nev. EFP's production crew is applying nanoparticles to precut filters and packaging them hermetically. Packaged filters, along with masks received from the company's Taiwanese manufacturer, will be shipped to distributors and other customers shortly. The company's immediate goal is to clear the substantial backlog that has been caused by an increase in demand for the NanoMask and the NanoMask filters.

As previously stated, the company's initial production plans call for enhancing the filters at the rate of approximately 500,000 per week. To meet the anticipated demand, EFP has ordered approximately 7 million precut filters. The company expects to take scheduled weekly deliveries of the filters through February 2006. EFP has ordered an additional 300,000 NanoMask shells from its Taiwanese manufacturer and expects delivery by December 2005. Current orders suggest that customers are purchasing approximately 20 filters for every mask.

"Now that we have our production facility in Henderson operating, we hope to clear our continuously growing backlog of orders for the NanoMask and NanoMask filters over the course of the next few weeks," said Douglas K. Beplate, president and CEO, EFP. "Additionally, we are currently in negotiations with several international distributors to address the inquiries for the NanoMask that we are receiving from other countries."
