Are there any carbon activate filter in the market and why Perodua Myvi doesn’t have?
Some cabin air-con filters are made of “electret” media consisting of electro statically charged fibers’ and usually added with activated carbon filter media to remove odors. The charged material attracts the particles in the air and removes them. These filters have been proven to better capture respirable particles but still at a low efficiency level of 20-25% air flow. The carbon filter media also tends to wear out quickly together with shorter life span. Duratech is an after market replacement parts which is specially designed according to Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) requirements dedicated for Perodua Myvi.
