Permatron’s air filter media capabilities include material slitting, sheeting, die cutting, sonic welding, sewing, fabricating and assembly. Permatron works with a diverse selection of washable and disposable air filter materials or ‘media.’ Permatron offers virtually unlimited options for air filter materials such as paper, fiberglass, bulk carbon, zeolite and more. Air filter media is available in filter media rolls by the linear yard or as custom sized pads. Our most popular air filter materials are listed below and spec sheets can be downloaded from the bottom of this page.
Nonwoven polyester is impregnated with a finely ground activated carbon coating to increase the surface area available for adsorption, and heat-set to retain the activated carbon coatings even when the media is rinsed or vacuumed. This is a dual action air filter media for particulate and odor/fume/gas removal.
Nonwoven polyester is a synthetic air filter media. The fibers are randomly dispersed in all directions through an air laid web to form a uniform media of high strength and durability. A high volume of contaminants can be trapped within the complete depth of fiber.
Polypropylene is a synthetic media that comes in a honeycomb weave type, various yarn diameters, and is available in black or natural color. Used extensively within the air filtration industry as an open weave fabric that effectively removes airborne particulates through a combination of impingement and a triboelectric charge (static electricity does not utilize current and does not flow). Electrostatic media features a triboelectric charge as an inherent property for an enhanced attraction of airborne particles, like iron filings to a magnet.
Polypropylene is a petroleum industry by-product which has impressive strength and is very resistant to abrasion. Excellent resistance to most acids and alkalies. Good resistance to bleaches, solvents, aging, indirect sunlight and abrasion. Not attacked by mildew, this media will not disintegrate, unlike other air filter medias. Natural white polypropylene media is an FDA approved component, and can be used in food processing applications. Black polypropylene media is UV protected, and can be used outdoors or in conjunction with UV lights.
We offer a sonic sewn edge for polypropylene media. The media can be cut to your custom size, and sonic welded in single, double or triple layers with a clean finished edge in place of a vinyl binding frame.
Foam is thermally reticulated 15 and 20 pores per inch polyether polyurethane foam. Resilient and flexible, this foam air filter material is reusable and can be rinsed with water or vacuum cleaned. Charcoal in color, the media comes in several thicknesses. Media is available in rolls and cut to size pieces.
Rigid black plastic netting with 3/8″ diamond shape openings can be used as a protective barrier against environmental elements, nesting birds, and hail storms or layered as filter media support in air filters. It is UV protected, rot and corrosion resistant for outdoor use.
Black 9×9 1000 denier multi-polymer coated polyester mesh. UV protected, rot and corrosion resistant for outdoor use. High grab tensile strength MD115/CD 105-ASTM D 4632 Test Method. High trapezoid tear strength MD 55/CD 40-ASTM D 4633 Test Method. Mullen burst strength 240-ASTM D 3786 Test Method.
