Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The PerfectPleat® ULTRA is an extended surface, pleated filter with antimicrobial properties, rated at MERV 8. It is designed to enhance air quality without relying on electret charge technology. The filter is available in 1", 2", and 4" models and is environmentally friendly, being fully incinerable with no metal components.
Key Features:
  • Mechanical Efficiency: The filter maintains efficiency throughout its service life, with a significant increase in efficiency as dust holding begins.
  • Antimicrobial Properties: The antimicrobial treatment preserves media integrity by inhibiting microbial growth.
  • Self-Supporting Media: Made from virgin fiber, the DuraFlex® media does not require wire support, preventing rust and simplifying disposal.
  • Patented Design: The filter's design and manufacturing process are patented, ensuring unique performance characteristics.
Construction Details:
  • Frame: Constructed from high wet-strength beverage carrier board, securely bonded to the media pack.
  • Support Structure: The 1" model uses supporting straps, while the 2" and 4" models incorporate pleat stabilizers and spacers for enhanced stability and airflow.
Performance Specifications:
  • Initial Resistance: Varies by model, with the 1" model at .23 in. w.g. at 300 FPM.
  • Recommended Final Resistance: 1.0 in. w.g. for all models.
  • Temperature Limits: Continuous operating temperature up to 150ºF for 1" and 2" models, and 200ºF for the 4" model.
Product Sizes and Airflow Ratings: The filters are available in various nominal sizes, with airflow ratings provided for 300, 500, and 625 FPM. For example, a 20 x 25 x 1 filter has a rated airflow of 1050 SCFM at 300 FPM.
Performance Data: The filter's efficiency is plotted against particle size, showing high filtration efficiency across a range of particle diameters.
Certifications: The filters are UL classified and tested according to UL Standard 900 and CAN 4-S111. The company is ISO certified, emphasizing continuous product research and improvement.

PerfectPleat Ultra-1

Extended Surface, Pleated Filter with Antimicrobial — MERV 8 • Mechanical efficiency — does not rely on electret charge technology • Self-supporting DuraFlex ® media made from virgin fiber; no wire support needed • Consistent media with controlled fiber size and blend • Incorporates antimicrobial • Available in 1", 2" and 4" models • Environmentally friendly – no dies, no metal, fully incinerable • Patented media, filter design, and manufacturing process. Covered under one or more of the following patents: US 6398839 B2; US 6254653 B1; US 6159318; US 6165242; US 6387140 B1 (1" model only) The PerfectPleat ULTRA filter is designed to consistently increase efficiency throughout the service life of the filter. The PerfectPleat ULTRA filter has approximately 25% more media than our standard capacity filter and also incorporates an antimicrobial. The antimicrobial is applied to the media to preserve the integrity of the media throughout the filter’s useful life by inhibiting microbial growth. PerfectPleat ULTRA filters have an initial MERV 8 rating respectively, but the efficiency increases significantly when dust holding begins. PerfectPleat ULTRA filters have distinctive self-supporting characteristics that allow a pleating pattern, which promotes airflow and maximizes dust holding capacity (DHC). The PerfectPleat ULTRA filter is ideal for applications where pleated filters are currently in use and higher efficiencies are desired or required. It is also suited to high moisture conditions where bacterial growth may be likely to occur on air filters. Media Pack Sealant Media Pack Structurally Bonded with Hot Melt Pleat Stabilizer Bar Pleat Support Strap DuraFlex ® Self Supporting Media Media Pack Sealant PerfectPleat® ULTRA 2″ Filter Construction Superior Design and Construction The perimeter frame is constructed from the highest wet-strength 28 pt. beverage carrier board, securely bonded to the media pack. The 1″ model employs three supporting straps on the air-entering and air-leaving sides of the filter to control pleat spacing and support the media pack in the perimeter frame. Support straps on the air entering side are used in combination with uniquely designed pleat stabilizers on the air-leaving side of the 2″ model to provide additional strength. The support straps and pleat stabilizers ensure integrity against turbulent airflow. The 2″ filter resists crushing and abuse and provides excellent lateral stability for installation in side-access systems. The 4″ model utilizes a two piece die cut frame with integral pleat spacers on the air leaving side. Pleat spacing is controlled by straps bonded to the air entering side and the multiple rows of pleat spacers on the air leaving side. The pleat spacers also ensure the pleats remain open during use, maximizing filter life. DuraFlex ® Media – Patented Media Design Uniform size virgin fibers are assembled in closely controlled blends to create a media that is both self-supporting and consistent in performance. When pleated, DuraFlex media will hold its shape without the wire support characteristic of conventional pleated filters. That means no potential for the formation of rust and safer handling. With the superior resiliency of DuraFlex media and no need for wire support, PerfectPleat ULTRA filters can sustain significant abuse and maintain their shape and pleat spacing. The absence of wire also makes the filter totally incinerable, which can simplify disposal.
