When you hear the word “coating,” what comes to your mind? A slick layer of protection, perhaps a subtle shield? In the kitchen, it serves both roles. For cooker hoods, coatings provide an invisible barrier against persistent oil splatters. In Malaysian homes, where stir-frying is a daily ritual, cooker hoods endure significant wear and tear.
So how do you ensure your cooker hood remains spotless and fully functional? The answer lies exactly in this article.
In kitchens across Malaysia, where cooking frequently involves oils and aromatic spices, cooker hoods play an essential role in maintaining a fresh and hygienic environment. Yet continual exposure to steam, grease, and food particles can gradually degrade even the most robust kitchen appliances.
This deterioration manifests as corrosion, clogged filters, sticky surfaces, and diminished airflow.
This is where advanced coating technology proves indispensable. Far from being a mere aesthetic feature, it forms a robust, ultra-thin protective layer that bonds to the substrate, resisting the adhesion of oil and grime.
This reduces the need for exhaustive cleaning, enhances durability, extends the appliance’s service longevity, and maintains optimal suction power without compromising performance.
FUJIOH’s advanced coating technology has developed into a durable, long-term solution that both prolongs the life of kitchen hoods and simplifies their upkeep.
Grease stains on cooker hoods are all too familiar in Malaysian kitchens, particularly after days filled with frying, grilling, or sautéing. FUJIOH’s Oil Repellent coating is applied directly to the hood’s exterior surfaces and motor components, creating a slick layer that effectively prevents oil from adhering.
With less grease accumulation, cleaning becomes swift. Additionally, this coating also shields the motor from corrosion and buildup, offering exceptional scratch resistance and wear resistance, ensuring that it operates smoothly for longer periods.
The FR-FD2490 VP model exemplifies these durability and performance benefits on its hood body, designed to perform reliably in the oily environment (Malaysian kitchens). Next, we turn our attention to internal protection.
While the outer body protects what you can see, it is the inner mechanism – ‘the motor’, that works behind the scenes just as hard. These internal parts are constantly exposed to fine grease particles and heat, which can lead to reduced suction and the need for costly servicing.
To tackle this challenge, FUJIOH introduced the Super Kirei coating, an advanced inner-layer treatment applied directly to the motor. Unlike ordinary finishes, this coating actively resists the accumulation of oil mist and contaminants, keeping the motor clean from the inside out.
The benefits are significant: consistent airflow, prolonged motor longevity, reduced wear over time, and less frequent cleaning or maintenance interruptions. It is a smart defence that allows the motor to perform at its best.
The FR-FD2490 and FR-SC2090 R/V cooker hood are standout examples of this innovation in action. Designed especially for oil-intensive cooking environments, it comes equipped with the Super Kirei Coating to protect where it matters most.
Filters function as the lungs of your cooker hood, silently drawing in oily air to protect your kitchen. However, they can quickly become clogged, especially with regular Malaysian cooking styles involving deep frying and spicy sambals. FUJIOH’s superhydrophobic hydrophilic coating, known as Aqua Slit, alleviates this burden.
This innovative hydrophilic coating is applied to the filter surface. While oil and grease are captured during use, the coating allows them to be easily released and washed away with just water. Consequently, rinsing becomes more effective, with water lifting away grease and grime effortlessly, minimizing the need for harsh chemicals. This means cleaning can be accomplished with water alone, without harsh chemicals or strenuous scrubbing.
Various FUJIOH cooker hood models — FR-SC2090, FR-FS2290, FR-MS2390, and FR-MT1990 — feature Aqua Slit filter, a washable filter treated with this technology, making them an ideal choice for busy households.
FUJIOH’s proprietary coating for kitchen applications is meticulously designed to work in unison, creating a strong defense against everyday cooking challenges while keeping maintenance effortless.
At the core of FUJIOH’s engineering is a multi-layered defence system. The Oil Repellent coating forms a slick barrier on the hood’s exterior and motor, actively preventing grease adhesion and shielding against corrosion. Internally, the Super Kirei Coating safeguards the vital motor components by resisting the accumulation of oil mist and dust, ensuring consistent airflow and peak performance.
Meanwhile, the hydrophilic coating on the filters makes maintenance easier by allowing water to spread into a thin film over the surface, loosening grease and simplifying cleaning. Combined with other advanced coatings, it enhances durability and ensures your cooker hood continues to perform flawlessly for years.
At the heart of FUJIOH’s philosophy is a commitment to elevating the cooking experience. By combining Japanese precision engineering with a deep understanding of Malaysian culinary habits, FUJIOH delivers products that not only endure but also bring greater convenience, comfort, and confidence to your kitchen.

Q: How does FUJIOH’s Oil Repellent Coating make cleaning easier?
A: FUJIOH’s Oil Repellent Coating is applied to the hood’s stainless steel body, creating a slick, protective barrier. This technology prevents cooking oils and greasy stains from bonding strongly to the surface. Instead of stubborn, baked-on grime, you’ll find that most spills and splatters can be wiped away quickly with a soft cloth and a mild detergent, significantly reducing your cleaning time after cooking.
Q: Why is protecting the motor with Super Kirei Coating important?
A: The motor is the heart of your cooker hood, but it’s constantly exposed to fine, hot grease particles that can clog it and reduce its efficiency and lifespan. The Super Kirei Coating is applied internally to the motor, acting as a shield against this oil mist. This protection ensures consistent suction power, lowers the risk of costly repairs, and dramatically extends the motor’s operational life.
Q: What is the benefit of the hydrophilic coating on the filters (Aqua Slit Filter)?
A: This advanced hydrophilic coating transforms filter maintenance. This advanced hydrophilic coating transforms filter maintenance. During cooking, the Aqua Slit Filter traps grease. When it’s time to clean, simply remove and rinse it—the hydrophilic coating allows water to sheet across the surface, loosening buildup so it washes away easily. Together with our other advanced coatings, this keeps cleaning simple and your cooker hood performing at its best.
Q: Are these coatings durable, or will they wear off over time?
A: FUJIOH’s coatings are engineered for longevity and are designed to withstand the demands of a busy kitchen. The Oil Repellent and Super Kirei coatings are highly resistant to wear, heat, and corrosion. With proper care—such as gently rinsing the coated filters without abrasive scrubbers—these technologies will continue to perform effectively for years.
Q: I do a lot of deep-frying and cook with pungent ingredients. Are these coatings effective for that?
A: Absolutely. FUJIOH coatings were developed with intense cooking styles in mind, precisely like the deep-frying and sambal-making common in Malaysian kitchens. The combination of the Oil Repellent exterior, the protected motor, and the easy-clean Aqua Slit filters ensures your hood can handle heavy grease and strong odours, keeping your kitchen cleaner and fresher with minimal maintenance.
