The filter media is a 100% hydrophobic, synthetic polyolefin material that is electrostatically charged to attract and capture airborne contaminants. Filtration efficiency is rated at 65-70% for particles in the 5-10 micron range. Initial static resistance for the 2-inch depth is 0.26 inches water gauge at 500 feet per minute face velocity. The rigid beverage board frame is moisture resistant and supports pleat spacing integrity through bonded internal support members on both sides of each pleat. The filter pack is bonded to the inside periphery of the frame to eliminate air bypass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis filter is suited for commercial, industrial, and residential forced-air systems where mid-range particulate control is required. The MERV 10 rating makes it appropriate for applications targeting pollen, mold spores, pet dander, fine dust, and similar airborne particulates. The electrostatically charged Kimberly-Clark Hydrophobic Polyolefin media provides extended service life compared to standard fiberglass panels. Its construction qualifies for LEED point consideration and supports reduced energy consumption through lower initial resistance. The filter is available in 1-inch, 2-inch, and 4-inch depths, with special sizes available upon request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMERV 10 rating: 65-70% efficiency at 5-10 micron particle size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKimberly-Clark 100% hydrophobic, electrostatically charged synthetic polyolefin media\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInitial resistance of 0.26 inches water gauge at 500 FPM for 2-inch depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMoisture-resistant, rigid beverage board frame with bonded pleat support members on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFilter pack bonded to frame interior to prevent air bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy expanded wire media support grid with minimum 93% open area, bonded to prevent media oscillation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL 900 listed, flammability class 2 per UL 217V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQualifies for LEED points in applicable green building projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for standard 16 x 20 x 2 inch filter slots in residential, commercial, and industrial forced-air HVAC systems.

Install with airflow direction arrows on the frame oriented toward the blower. Ensure the filter fits flush within the filter rack or housing to prevent air bypass around the frame edges. Follow local mechanical codes and the equipment manufacturer guidelines for filter change intervals based on system load and environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 x 20 x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMERV Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiltration Efficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e: 65-70% at 5-10 micron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.26 inches water gauge at 500 FPM (2-inch depth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Media\u003c\/strong\u003e: Kimberly-Clark Hydrophobic Polyolefin, 100% synthetic, electrostatically charged\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Moisture-resistant rigid beverage board\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia Support Grid\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy expanded wire, minimum 93% open area\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Depths\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch, 2 inches, 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: UL 900, UL 217V flammability class 2; LEED point eligible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: AIREX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: pm16202\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AIREX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51467619926322,"sku":"PM16202","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/313946455.jpg?v=1783908420","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/airex-pm16202-pleated-air-filter-16x20x2-merv-10","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
