By now, Filipinos are very familiar with N95 rated facemasks. Becoming in demand after the eruption of Taal Volcano last January, this type of facemask became a must-have especially for areas within the radius of the heavy ashfall from the eruption. Two months later, facemasks have become an essential, not just for certain localities, but for every Filipino in every town and city in the country.

When it comes to particle filtration, the N95 standard is among the highest. N95 is the standard set by the U.S. National Institute for Occupation­al Safety and Health for 95% air filtration of airborne particles measuring 0.3 microns or higher.

N95 filters are made from cutting-edge manufactur­ing and material technologi­es using an extremely fine mesh of synthetic electrosta­tic polymer fibers, also known as non-woven polypropyl­ene fabric, through a process called melt-blowing. Melt-blowing forms the inner filtration layer that filters out hazardous particles including bacteria and viruses.

And now, the N95 standard is becoming available in automobile air conditioni­ng (AC) cabin filters. All Chery Tiggo 5X, Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 models come standard with ultra-efficient long-life N95 AC cabin air filters.

The cabin filters in these Chery models work in three phases using three layers of filtration. In phase 1, a percolator filter blocks larger particles like dust and outdoor pollution

(i.e. black diesel exhaust smoke).

In phase 2, the electrosta­tic fine fiber mesh filters out particles as small as 0.3 microns with 95% efficiency. In phase

3, an activated charcoal layer filters out harmful gases (i.e. toluene, N-butane, SO2) and deodorizes peculiar smells.

The high efficiency of the Chery AC filter also helps dehydrate and remove moisture from the cabin air, which effectivel­y reduces the lifespan of most germs. The AC cabin filters used in the subcompact Chery Tiggo 5X 1.5, compact Tiggo 7 1.5 Turbo and midsize 7-seater Tiggo 8 1.5 Turbo use the latest ultra-efficient PM0.3 standard, the third and latest generation of AC cabin filter technology.
