About Air Filter Efficiency Ratings

Compare MERV rating, efficiency, and particle size to find the right filter for your location—from warehouses and offices to hospitals and labs.

HEPA Long-Life Box Air Filters

Aluminum Frame

Steel Frame

Extend the time between filter changes in laboratories, hospitals, and other places with a high risk of airborne contaminants. These filters have tight pleats, which increase the surface area for catching particles. They’re a HEPA filter, so they capture small particles, such as allergens and germs, more efficiently than standard air filters.

Filters with an aluminum frame have a V-shape design that increases the filtering area and reduces resistance to air, leading to an even longer life than filters with a standard design.

Bag Air Filters

The deep pockets on these filters maximize filtering surface area with minimal airflow resistance. Actual size is 5/8” less than trade size.
