HVAC Filtration Innovations Change Air Filter Industry

Every few years a Fiber Bond innovation has so much impact, it changes the HVAC filtration industry.

1957 - Original Patent The random dispersion of synthetic fibers forming an airlaid media bonded with flame-retarded binders.	1966 - Introduction of tackified media “FP” series of tackified media improves performance and holds trapped dust in the filter.
1977 - First high performance synthetic media Dual-Ply Dustlok® provides progressive density depth loading. An adhesive throughout the entire final layer absorbs and locks-in dust particles.	1983 - Introduction of heat seal pocket construction Permanently fused perimeter edge and internal seals eliminate holes from stitching and provide leak-proof performance.
1987 - The use of antimicrobials in air filtration Spor-Ax® antimicrobial agent effectively controls the growth of mold, mildew, algae and fungi on filters.	1990 - First U.L. Class 1 synthetic filter Multi-Wedge 85 and Multi-Wedge 95 filters meet the strict requirements for Class 1 rating as set forth in U.L. Standard 900.
1996 - First pleat without wire Kleen Pleat Gold high performance self-supporting media requires no wire backing. Contains Spor-Ax® antimicrobial and Dustlok® adhesive.	2006 - Replacement to make pleated filters obsolete First low-resistance MERV10 replacement for pleated filters that is impervious to moisture.
