About Air Filter Efficiency Ratings

Cut these pads to the size you need; frames are sold separately.

All meet UL Classified flame retardance requirements.

Pads with a tacky surface retain particles better than other pads. They are blue on one side and white on the other.

Prefilter Air Filter Pads

These pads are an economical choice for protecting more expensive filters that catch finer particles. Cut to the size you need; frames are sold separately.

Pads meet UL standards for flame retardance.

Synthetic fiber pads have a heavy dust-holding capacity and withstand poor weather conditions such as rain, snow, and wind. Often used in upstream HVAC applications, they’re durable and can catch dirt, dust, hair, and other large particles. The material of these pads is also known as hog hair.

Reusable Air Filter Pads

Wash and reuse these pads. Cut to the size you need.

These pads meet UL 900 flame retardance requirements.

Polyurethane pads with more pores per inch catch smaller particles than pads with fewer pores per inch.

Polyester pads require no frame—rigid polyester is firm enough to be used without one.

Odor-Removal Air Filter Pads

With a higher carbon concentration than odor-removal air filter rolls, these pads handle heavier odors. Cut to the size you need; frames are sold separately.

All meet UL 900 flame retardance requirements.

Pads with a carbon concentration of 375 g/sq. ft. provide greater odor control than other pads and can handle ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and other gases. They are often used in hospitals and laboratories.
