How the technology works

The multi stage foam construction captures contaminants progressively. A coarse outer layer stops larger particles, the mid layer controls the bulk of remaining debris and the fine inner layer protects the engine from the smallest dust. This progressive filtration maintains strong airflow for longer, supporting fuel efficiency and reliable performance in real world British driving conditions.
