Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about FrontLine™ fiberglass air filter media, designed for various operating conditions. It highlights different product lines: FrontLine Gold, Blue, Green, and Red, each tailored for specific performance needs.
Product Lines:
  • FrontLine Gold: Designed for the toughest conditions, offering the highest performance and value. It features extra high fiber content and progressive density construction for heavy applications.
  • FrontLine Blue: Suitable for high performance under normal conditions, with high fiber content and progressive density for medium applications.
  • FrontLine Green: An economical choice for light-duty conditions, with standard fiber content and constant density construction.
  • FrontLine Red: Ideal for high-temperature applications, with a UL Class 1 rating for temperatures up to 250˚F (121˚C).
Technical Specifications:
  • Compression Strength: Enhanced by resin-bonded fibers, allowing air to move through the entire media thickness.
  • Fiber Content: Higher fiber content increases dirt-catching surface area, improving arrestance and dust holding capacity.
  • Media Construction: Progressive density construction prevents faceloading, enhancing performance.
  • Viscosine® Adhesive: Applied to Gold, Blue, and Green media, it retains particles effectively, maintaining filter efficiency.
Performance Data: The document includes performance metrics such as initial and average arrestance, resistance at various face velocities, and recommended final resistance. All data is based on ASHRAE 52.1-1992 test methods.
Operating Temperatures: Continuous operating temperatures vary by product line, with FrontLine Red supporting the highest temperature of 250˚F (121˚C).
Certifications: All FrontLine media are UL classified, with FrontLine Red achieving Class 1 status.

Fiberglass Air Filter Media FrontLine™ Better Air is Our Business ® FrontLine Gold Designed for the toughest operating conditions, offers the highest performance and best value. FrontLine Blue Designed for high performance during normal operating conditions. Compression Strength Resin applied to the fiberglass during spinning is cured in an oven to form a strong bond at each fiber intersection. Bonded fibers increase compression strength, allowing air to move throughout the entire thickness of the media. FrontLine Green The economical choice for high performance during light duty operating conditions. FrontLine Red Ideal for higher temperature applications. Fiber Content Higher fiber content provides more dirt catching media surface. This highly magnified photomicrograph shows how each fiber intersection is solidly bonded. Note the difference in fiber content between FrontLine Gold (right) and a competitive media (left). "Progressive Density" construction prevents faceloading and increases arrestance and dust holding capacity. High performance media available with a range of performance features to meet the specific requirements of your ventilation system. Media Sizes Fiber Content Media Construction Compression Strength Viscosine® Adhesive UL Class 1, high temp. media for applications up to 250°F (121°C), tinted red on air leaving side 2" thick Extra High Progressive Density Very High No adhesive, dry media Standard grade for light dirt loading conditions, tinted green on air leaving side 1/2", 1" and 2" thick Standard Constant Density Standard Light Application Commercial grade for medium to heavy dirt loading conditions, tinted blue on air leaving side 1" and 2" thick High Progressive Density Bonded-Fiber Particle Barrier High Medium Application Industrial grade for extra heavy dirt loading conditions, tinted gold on air leaving side 1" and 2" thick Extra High Progressive Density Bonded-Fiber Particle Barrier Very High Heavy Application Media Construction FrontLine Gold, Blue, and Red fiberglass media are designed with “Progressive Density” construction. Fibers on the air entering side are interlaced in an open pattern which becomes progressively tighter. Dirt loads from back to front, taking advantage of the entire thickness of the media.
