Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

  • What makes micronAir neo different from conventional cabin air filters?

    micronAir neo is engineered for real-world driving conditions, not just laboratory test environments. Its deep fiber structure with heterogeneous fiber diameters captures a broad spectrum of ambient particles while maintaining stable filtration efficiency and airflow over the entire filter lifetime. This results in more reliable passenger protection and predictable HVAC performance in everyday use.

  • How does micronAir neo improve passenger protection in real driving conditions?

    micronAir neo captures the full range of ambient air particles down to PM 0.1, including traffic-related emissions, brake dust, and ultrafine particles. By distributing particles throughout the filter depth instead of forming dense surface layers, it delivers consistent air quality for passengers over time.

  • How does micronAir neo support HVAC system performance?

    The filter is designed to maintain moderate pressure drop and high dust-holding capacity as it loads. This helps ensure stable airflow, reduces the risk of premature filter blockage, and supports long-term HVAC system reliability and energy-efficient operation.

  • Is micronAir neo suitable for both OE and OES applications?

    Yes. micronAir neo is designed for OE integration while also supporting OES requirements. Its long-term stable performance, predictable aging behavior, and system-friendly design make it suitable for original equipment as well as service replacement scenarios where reliability over extended use is critical.

  • How does micronAir neo address sustainability requirements?

    micronAir neo supports OEM sustainability goals through material choices and production processes. The filter can be made with up to 60% recycled or renewable materials by weight, contains no intentionally added PFAS, additives, biocides, allergens, or perfumes, and is produced at a Freudenberg site powered by 100% green electricity.

  • How is micronAir neo validated for real-world performance?

    micronAir neo undergoes extensive testing beyond standard laboratory measurements. Validation includes ambient air aging, industrial HVAC test rigs, and continuous monitoring of filtration efficiency, pressure drop, and dust accumulation to ensure performance remains stable under real environmental conditions. 

  • How can we evaluate micronAir neo for our specific vehicle platform?

    Freudenberg offers comprehensive development support, including customized testing, system-level evaluation, and engineering consultation. This helps OEMs and OES partners assess performance, integration, and lifecycle behavior under vehicle-specific conditions. Contact us to discuss your application and evaluation needs.
