Marine Environment Air Filters
Airborne dust particles, bacteria,
molds, yeast and VOC's in a marine environment can build up to be a
serious problem. Washable polypropylene media air filters
work extremely well in such an environment. Because the woven
media of polypropylene is manufactured as a mono (single strand)
filament, it does not have a porous surface. This means it
will not absorb or retain moisture, and does not encourage the
growth of mold, bacteria, viruses, yeast or fungi, which are all
common complaints in the boating/shipping
industry. Synthetic foams can be added to marine
filters for greater arrestance efficiency. The ethers hold up
very well in wet environments including salt water, and have
historically been used for pond and water filters.
Permatron's polyester PermaFlo® can also be added for filters
needing greater surface area. All plastic filters are made to
withstand corrosive environments, including thorough cleaning
practices that include chlorine bleach.
A variety of durable frame options are available for corrosive environments, like rigid plastic, stainless steel or flexible vinyl edging.
