Air purifier releases negative ions to effectively inhibit bacteria and increase oxygen to bring consumers fresh air

FDC’s intelligent air purifier, certified by Intertek, adopts multiple filtration and sterilization procedures to purify the air and kill bacteria.

The air purifier effectively removes tiny particles through the HEPA13 filter, which absorbs harmful gases and odors through activated carbon, decomposes harmful gases after the UV lamp irradiates the catalyst screen, and disinfects bacteria and viruses. It also releases negative ions to effectively inhibit bacteria and increase oxygen to bring consumers fresh air.

Tick-Mark

The Tick-Mark is Intertek's independent product performance verification and claim program. The program provides independent verification in terms of quality, safety, performance, function, social responsibility, and product reliability, and highlights the advantages of companies’ products in all aspects.

As part of the close cooperation between Intertek's professional technical team and FDC, the disinfection and sterilization function of FDC's intelligent air purifier was rigorously and comprehensively evaluated.
