As a global well-known company in filtration and thermal management technology, UFI Filter Group exhibited its latest technological innovation in air filtration at the Frankfurt Expo 2019 in Shanghai-ARGENTIUM, a new material that marked The beginning of a new generation of air filtration in cars. This material was named ARGENTIUM because of its unique structure and material properties. It was developed and produced entirely by the UFI Group and is composed of synthetic polymer fibers containing antibacterial functional ingredients.

This new filter media was developed and produced entirely by the UFI Filter Group and consists of non-woven fibers containing silver particles, hence the name ARGENTIUM. This fiber has a strong antibacterial effect. Its innovation lies in its ability to neutralize bacteria, fungi and molds with a sterilization rate of 99%.

"The UFI Group has decided to give a meaningful name to this innovative filter media. ARGENTIUM, produced by the UFI Group's exclusive factory, and the Group's current Some other products, such as DFM fuel filters (deep filter media), DURAFILTER oil filters and UFI multi-tube engine air filters, will become a milestone in the history of filters. We are proud of the achievements of the UFI Innovation Center, This is a return on the continuous investment in research and development, and at the same time it can provide better in-vehicle health protection for vehicle users. We have once again proved the outstanding innovation strength of the UFI Group in the industry, which can not only produce complete internal modules but also The filter media itself can be produced. "
Tests at the UFI Innovation Center (UFI Filter R & D Center) show that this new product maintains its antibacterial properties throughout the filter's life cycle, so it can continue to kill bacteria. It is worth noting that this antibacterial property comes from the fiber itself, and the use of UFI ARGENTIUM filters can extend the ability to kill bacteria over time. In other solutions available on the market, these characteristics are reduced after the filter is installed on the vehicle for several working cycles.
The new ARGENTIUM media significantly improves the air quality produced by the in-car air filters, while using specific activated carbon compounds to better enhance the driving environment. Tests certified by an independent laboratory in Germany in accordance with the ISO 11155-1 standard have proven that the composition has a filtration rate of greater than 98.5% (such as pollen and dust) in particles with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers. NOx) and bad odors.
The UFI ARGENTIUM filter using this innovative material will be used in the company's aftermarket in the next few months to specialize in anti-pollen and activated carbon car air filter series. This product will be distinguished from traditional filter plates by its characteristic blue fiber, and will use the same product code.
If the air filter cannot be replaced regularly, the air quality in the car will deteriorate. UFI Filter Group recommends that the air filter in the car be replaced once a year. The accumulation of dust and harmful substances can endanger the health of vehicle users, not only cause allergies, throat discomfort and sneezing, but also lead to fatigue and inattention after prolonged driving. Condensed mist on windshields and windows can also impede visibility.
