Performance & Application FAQs

Q1: Can this filter handle moist or damp dust?

A: The standard version (cellulose substrate) has high moisture absorption (up to 14%) and is not suitable for high-humidity environments. For humid conditions, the Spunbond Polyester version must be used, as it has very low moisture absorption (0.2-0.5%) and better chemical resistance.

Q2: Is it safe for use in explosive atmospheres or where static electricity is a concern?

A: Yes, but you must select the optional Conductive FR (Flame-Retardant) media. This version is specifically designed for such applications, with a resistance of less than 10⁹ ohms to safely dissipate electrostatic charges and prevent spark hazards.

Q3: What is the difference between MERV 13 and MERV 15? Which one should I choose?

A: MERV 15 offers higher filtration efficiency, capturing smaller particles (0.3-1.0 micron). If your process generates very fine dust (e.g., smoke, metalworking fumes, sub-micron particulate), or if you require the highest purity of exhaust air, choose MERV 15. For general dust (e.g., wood, grain, most mineral dusts), MERV 13 is usually sufficient.
