Hoya engineers have developed a new antistatic coating that acts like a force field around the filter to repel dust. Ideal for environments where dust is common, these filters require less frequent cleaning and maintenance than traditional filters. Additionally, the hardened antistatic top layer is water-repellent, stain- and scratch-resistant, and easily wipes clean when smudges or fingerprints are on the surface. The UV properties of the filter screen out unwanted ultraviolet rays, reducing haze and increasing clarity. 

The new professional FUSION Antistatic filters are manufactured in Japan using hand-selected silicates that are carefully melted and blended to produce high-performance optical glass. 

Hoya then uses exceptional care and precision to apply the enhanced 9-layer Super Multi-Coating formula that eliminates or significantly reduces reflections on the glass surface, resulting in very high light transmission rates. This means the filter has virtually no effect on the color balance, contrast, or clarity of the final image. The UV FUSION filters feature a lightweight, one-piece, low-profile aluminum frame to house the glass. This one-piece design allows the filter to maintain perfect parallel alignment with the sensor plane for maximum sharpness, while the low-profile form eliminates vignetting when used on ultra-wide-angle lenses.
