Filtrete™ Commercial High Performance Mini-Pleat HVAC Utility Filters (with Gaskets) combine excellent filtration performance with low airflow resistance and long filter life. Their unique balance of properties may offer building owners and managers a number of time and moneysaving advantages.

100% synthetic media - filters are durable, less chance of filter damage during handling and installation, resistant to moisture and common chemicals, resistant to fiber shedding.

Typical Applications
Filtrete™ Commercial High Performance HVAC Utility Filters with Gaskets are ideal for your:
• Commercial and office buildings.
• Educational institutions.
• Government facilities.
• Hotels and entertainment complexes.

Increase air flow / lower fan energy consumption for equivalent filter efficiency

Physical Characteristics
• 100% synthetic media - resists moisture and common chemicals
• 100% synthetic frame - lightweight, resists moisture
• Integral gaskets - provide an effective seal
• High durability - no special handling required
• Continuous pleat spacing glue bead
• Electrostatically charged media

Performance Notes
• Typical initial resistance: 0.37 inches (0.92 Pa) of water @ 492 fpm
• UL 900, Class 1 flammability rating (U.S.)
• UL 900, Class 2 flammability rating (Canada)
• Operating temperature range: 122°F (50°C), -22°F (-30°C)

Performance Data
• Air Velocity for ASHRAE Testing: 492 fpm (1968 cfm for 24" x 24" filter)
• Air Velocity for EN779 Testing: 2.5 m/s (3400 m3/hr for 0.6m x 0.6m filter)
• Initial Resistance: 0.37 inches of water (92 Pa)
• Recommended Final Resistance: 1.40 inches of water (350 Pa)
• Average Dust Spot Efficiency per ASHRAE 52.1-1992: 90-95%
• Initial Efficiency Rating per ASHRAE 52.2-1999: MERV-14
• Minimum Efficiency Rating During Conditioning to Simulate Actual Use in Commercial Applications: Corresponds to MERV-12*
• Filter Class per EN779-2002: F6
• Average Efficiency per EN-779-2002: 78 +/- 3%
• Average Dust Holding Capacity at 1.4 inches water (350 Pa): 69 +/- 6 g

Efficiency During Use:
Particle capture efficiency of electrostatically charged filters has been shown to decrease during actual use. The timeframe and the extent to which this decrease occurs depend on particle size and loading conditions. This effect has been observed in as little as one week to six weeks of actual use. Actual particle efficiencies during use may be lower than those shown, also depending on particle size and loading conditions.

Service Life:
Filter should be replaced before reaching a final resistance of 1.40 inches (3.56 cm) of water to maintain design performance of the filter. Certain system designs may require filter replacement at lower resistances.

Independent Laboratory Testing:
Filtrete™ Commercial High Performance Filters have been tested by an independent laboratory in accordance with ASHRAE or EN779-2002 standards. Performance ratings are based on testing of new filters with a +/- 95% confidence interval of the average.

The low pressure drop feature of Filtrete Commercial High Performance HVAC Utility Filters may help reduce fan energy consumption.

Durable synthetic media and construction
Media construction is resistant to moisture and common chemicals.
• Resilient construction.
• Resistant to fiber shedding.
• Unique, electrostatically-charged, open construction media.

Long filter life
The unique media and construction of Filtrete Commercial High Performance HVAC Utility Filters may result in long filter life.
• Media loads through the depth of the filter, contributing to long filter life.
• Minipleat construction provides high surface area, contributing to long filter life.

Small package size
• Easy to handle.
• Low disposal volume.**

Demonstrated filtration efficiency
Filtrete Commercial High Performance HVAC Utility Filters have been tested by independent laboratories in accordance with ASHRAE 52.1-1992 and 52.2-1999 standards. Electret-based filter media is known to decrease in efficiency under many environmental conditions. To evaluate filter efficiency during actual use, additional testing to simulate in-use performance has been carried out. Refer to technical data sheet for detailed product attributes and performance.

Possible Fan Energy Cost Reductions
Use of Filtrete™ Commercial High Performance HVAC Utility Filters may help reduce fan energy costs due to their low airflow resistance relative to filters having comparable efficiency ratings and construction. When the air handling unit is cleaned, the savings may be even greater and may help to increase your return on initial investment.

3M uses industry accepted fan energy estimation models that can demonstrate the possible savings resulting from the use of Filtrete filters.

* Performance ratings based on testing of new filters by an independent laboratory.
** Disposal of used filters must comply with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.
