Odor-Removing Pleated Panel Air Filters

Carbon granules absorb odors. Pleats create a large surface area to filter without reducing airflow. The cardboard frame won't warp because it is treated to resist humidity.

Strong Odor Removing—Packed with 15 times more carbon than standard odor-removal air filters to eliminate heavy odors.

Ultra-Efficiency Odor-Removing Box Air Filters

Clear the air of odors and viruses, fine allergens, and even wildfire smoke and heavy pollution. These filters contain carbon granules to absorb odors. The rigid frame won’t bend or twist from sudden changes in airflow, such as those created by variable air volume systems. For a long service life, the V-shape design increases the filtering area and reduces resistance to air.
