Filtration media play a critical role in the efficiency and reliability of modern automotive engines. Engineered nonwovens surpass the performance and lifetime of cellulose papers, which are traditionally used in oil and fuel filters.
Freudenberg’s new oil filter medium FF 2049 is the quantum leap in engine oil filtration. Made from 100% thermally bonded polyester fibers, it is highly resistant to aggressive high performance motor oils. The gradient media density enhances both filtration efficiency and dirt holding capacity, while still operating with less flow resistance. Due to the higher dirt holding volume, the filters last much longer, and the service intervals can be extended. On the other hand, filters now can be designed smaller, saving weight and space under the hood.
