CabinHepa+®, a new cabin air filter developed by Sogefi (CIR Group) engineers using HEPA media, offers 50 times more protection than a conventional cabin air filter*. Sogefi is the first supplier to offer a system in Europe that filters particles the size of a virus to protect the vehicle’s occupants.
This HEPA technology is traditionally used in medical and pharmaceutical environments, in clean rooms or in the aerospace industry, where a high degree of air disinfection is essential. SOGEFI's CabinHepa+® filters retain up to 99.97% of 0.3 micron particles*, making them one of the most efficient filters on the market.
CabinHepa+® can trap pollens, dust, debris, allergens, animal dander, mold, many other pollutants, and above all any particles the size of a virus which may enter the vehicle.
*according to the IEST-RP-CC007.1. test
It is the best efficiency of filtration on the Europeean automotive market as per IEST-RP-CC007.1:
Nothing to hide. No addition of antibacterial agent (polyphenol or chemical fruit extract) is necessary to block bacteria, fine particles, pollens and mold.
As the filtration efficiency is high, no chemicals are used. CabinHepa+® can provide purified air to protect people at risk such as babies and elderly with low immunity systems.
CabinHepa+® is composed of layer of randomly arranged fibers that are typically composed of polyester fiber. Pre-filtration targeted for large particles removal.
The fine particles as small as 0.3 microns are blocked up to 99.97%.
HEPA stands for “High Efficiency Particulate Air” and refers to filters manufactured in accordance with very specific requirements. It is a surgical grade purification technology. These filters are used in medical, pharmaceutical and various high-tech industries. Tested in laboratories, Sogefi uses one of the most efficient standard.
CabinHepa+® filter has the best protection against particles harmful to health. They are able to filter viruses, bacteria, fine particles and allergens, which makes them very effective in cleaning the air breathed in the passenger compartment.
This is the reason why HEPA filters are not only found in homes and other high risk industries, but also in medical industries where a high degree of air disinfection is required.
There are various causes: the passenger compartment is a poorly ventilated enclosed space favoring the accumulation of pollutants.
When the cabin filter is worn out, it does no longer retain pollutants that are harmful to health. It is recommended to change it every 15,000 km or at least once a year.
