The filter media is a 100% hydrophobic synthetic polyolefin manufactured by Kimberly-Clark, electrostatically charged to attract and hold airborne contaminants. Efficiency is rated at 65-70% at the 5-10 micron particle range. Initial resistance for the 2-inch depth is 0.26 inches water gauge at 500 feet per minute face velocity. The rigid frame is constructed of heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board with integrated support members bonded to each pleat on both sides, preventing pleat collapse and air bypass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis filter is suited for a wide range of forced-air system installations including rooftop units, air handlers, and residential furnaces and fan coil units. The electrostatically charged hydrophobic media captures dust, pollen, mold spores, and other common airborne particulates at MERV 10 efficiency without requiring power. It is installed by HVAC technicians and facility maintenance professionals in both new construction and retrofit scenarios where indoor air quality improvement or LEED compliance is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMERV 10 efficiency rating: 65-70% capture at 5-10 micron particle size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100% hydrophobic Kimberly-Clark polyolefin media with electrostatic charge for enhanced particulate capture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with integrated pleat support members bonded to both sides of each pleat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFilter pack bonded to frame interior perimeter, eliminating air bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy expanded wire media support grid with 93% or greater open area, bonded to media to prevent oscillation and pull-away\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL 900 listed, flammability Class 2 (UL 217V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEarns LEED points and supports reduced energy cost through extended filter life-cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade pleated filter for residential, commercial, and industrial forced-air HVAC systems accepting a 16 x 16 x 2 inch filter.
