Ideal applications include office and retail, industrial filtration, single and multi-family housing, government and education facilities, and healthcare applications from doctor offices and assisted living facilities to Hospitals. The pleated air filter is a perfect fit to remove airborne irritants in the HVAC units in commercial, light commercial and industrial buildings alike. This filter utilizes a state-of-the-art 100% synthetic media to achieve exceptionally high levels of efficiency with the lowest resistance to air flow available and is effective in removing many airborne irritants such as pollens, molds, dander, and dust. The low resistance improves air flow and can greatly reduce energy costs. This filter can be a valuable tool in achieving points for USGBC-LEED certification projects. The advanced media does not rely on electrostatic charge for efficiency.
