Mitsubishi Motors Develops World's First Anti-allergen Filter for Car Air Conditioner

Tokyo May 9, 2005; Aki Tsukioka writing for JCNN reported that Mitsubishi Motors announced on May 9 that it has developed the world's first anti-allergen filter for car air conditioners. Based on Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' proprietary technology Allergen Clear Filter, the new product can effectively degrade and inactivate mites, pollens and allergens using enzymes and urea.

This three-layer filter is optimal for in-vehicle use with its improved heat resistance.

Mitsubishi Motors will adopt the new filter to its special model that will hit the market shortly.
