Filter Media

Positioning

Filter media is the raw filtration material supplied as rolls or made-to-order media for filter manufacturers and integrators. The supplier serves pre-filtration, HEPA and odour-control grades at low minimum order quantity, from prototyping to production.

What it is

Filter media is the raw filtration material supplied as rolls or made-to-order media for filter manufacturers and integrators.

Technical depth

Media types span needle-punched non-woven, synthetic fibre, micro-glass fibre and activated carbon. Needle-punched media trades low initial resistance for high coarse-dust capacity in pre-filtration and spray-booth duty; synthetic fibre adds strength and washability; micro-glass provides the fine-fibre surface for HEPA efficiency; and activated carbon adsorbs gaseous odours and vapours. Media is supplied at low MOQ (from 20 rolls) with prototyping-to-production capability. A roll is specified by grade and application, and the efficiency curve for the target particle size is the figure that actually confirms performance. The low 20-roll MOQ makes this category a prototyping-to-production bridge, which is its procurement differentiator.

Selection guidance

• Specify the target efficiency grade and the application (pre-filter vs HEPA vs odour).
• Confirm roll width, grammage and any fire-rating requirement (e.g. UL 900).
• Request an efficiency curve for the target particle size.

Procurement notes

• Specify the target efficiency grade and application — pre-filter, HEPA or odour — before asking for media.
• Confirm roll width, grammage and any fire-rating requirement such as UL 900.
• Request an efficiency curve for the target particle size.

From a sourcing perspective

From a sourcing perspective, filter media should be specified by duty, not by material name. We recommend stating the target grade and application — coarse pre-filtration, HEPA or odour control — before discussing rolls, because the media type follows the duty and each trades differently between resistance, capacity and efficiency. Our advice is to confirm roll width, grammage and any fire-rating requirement such as UL 900 up front, and to request an efficiency curve for the target particle size, since a nominal grade does not by itself confirm performance across the size range you care about. The efficiency curve for the target particle size is the figure that actually confirms the media. Confirm roll width, grammage and any fire-rating requirement up front, and request the efficiency curve for the target particle size. The low 20-roll MOQ makes this a prototyping-to-production bridge, which is its procurement differentiator. Each media type trades differently between resistance, capacity and efficiency, so match the type to the duty.
