FCL isn’t just keeping up with the future, they’re building it. Their investment in research and development allows them to create advanced filtration solutions that meet the highest ISO standards. A prime example of FCL’s innovation is PEPA-F™, a leading HVAC air filter that significantly improves air quality and ensures fine filtration with minimal integration impact on HVAC systems. This filter not only capture the virus carriers but can also eliminate the virus.

The PEPA-F™ pathogen filter effectively captures and eliminates bacteria and viruses at highest effectiveness, due to a specialised impregnation. Additionally, the PEPA-F™ particulate filter protects passengers against the smallest particles helping to meet WHO air quality guidelines. All PEPA-F™ filters feature various post treatment options, including high flame-retardancy compliant with EN45545-2, ISO3795, and FMVSS302 standards. The filter media also demonstrates exceptional resistance to chemicals, solvents, UV, temperature, and ageing. Already implemented in both new and existing trains, this advanced filtration technology is setting a new standard for clean air in transportation and buildings.
