Which filter media suits your application?

Filter media is widely used in air and dust extraction systems within HVAC installations, as well as in industrial environments, spray booths and other applications where clean air is essential. At Interfilter, we offer a wide range of filter media suitable for various applications. In this blog, you will learn more about the properties, types and application possibilities of filter media.

What is filter media?

Filter media is a filtration material that removes particles from the air, ranging from coarse dust to finer contaminants. Due to the different material types and layer structures, these media are suitable for various filtration applications, from air handling units to spray booths and industrial systems.

Advantages of filter media

Each type of filter media has its own specific advantages. The general benefits are:

• Custom cut and certain variants available in rolls
• Low resistance
• Lightweight

Filter media cut to size or supplied in rolls

Most types of filter media are custom cut and supplied in your required dimensions. Our glass fiber, synthetic, ceiling, paint stop, PPI, Cocolok and Hairlok filter media are all available cut to size.

In addition to custom cutting, various types are also available in rolls. For example, synthetic filter media and ceiling filter media are supplied in roll form.

Our range of filter media

At Interfilter, you will find various types of filter media with specific properties. Below is an overview of the main types:
