At Hollingsworth & Vose (H&V), we are a leader in high-efficiency filtration. Our glass fiber filter media is among the most widely used filter media for high-efficiency filtration applications. This versatile, proven material is employed in many different air and liquid filtration systems.
While many types of filtration media meet ISO 29463 and EN 1822 standards, most have poor performance and reliability. Glass microfiber filter media products from H&V are ideal for high-efficiency filtration needs. They deliver even airflow distribution and can even reduce operating costs. Our micro glass fiber filter media is ideal for HEPA and ULPA filters in sensitive production environments like cleanrooms. As your one-stop shop for filtration solutions, H&V offers an extensive product range in grades that meet your industry’s efficiency standards.
What Is a Glass Fiber Filter?
A glass fiber filter is a filtration product designed to trap particles and contaminants while allowing air or liquid to pass through. Glass fiber filter paper is manufactured using a wetlaid process similar to traditional papermaking. The filter media is typically composed of micro-fine borosilicate glass fibers and resin binders for highly efficient filtration.
At H&V, our glass fiber filter media features a unique matrix with best-in-class uniformity. They maximize internal surface area and create tortured paths to trap particles effectively while allowing high air permeability. We offer several fiber sizes to meet application-specific filtration requirements.
What Sets Our Glass Microfiber Filter Media Apart
With glass filtration products, production quality has a dramatic impact on performance. Glass microfiber filter media products from Hollingsworth & Vose are categorized into different grades and meet strict CTQ requirements for the following features.
Superior Mechanical Filtration Efficiency
The more uniform the filter media is, the more evenly air can flow through it. Our highly uniform filter media performs more efficiently than our competitors, with reduced drop-outs during filter production and validation testing.
Lower Pressure Drop
Compared to other glass fiber filter media, our products exhibit lower pressure drops at equivalent efficiency. This results in up to 14% lower electricity consumption and a reduced carbon footprint.
Best-in-Class Formation
Our filter media features sharp, evenly-spaced pleats with reduced pleat tip penetration. This high-quality formation improves airflow uniformity and contributes to energy efficiency.
Tensile Strength
Compared to lower-cost microfiber filter media, our products feature greater tensile strength for lasting durability. The improved tensile strength greatly reduces the risk of failure during transportation, product installation, and normal operation.
Other key benefits of H&V micro glass fiber filter media include:
- High flux and air permeability
- Processability/Pleatability
- Dirt- and dust-holding capacity
- Antimicrobial properties
- Chemical resistance
- Reduced total cost of ownership
- Temperature stability
Glass Fiber Filter Paper for Filtration Applications
As global leaders in HEPA and ULPA filtration, our glass fiber filter media is used throughout many challenging applications. The most common use for these products is within cleanrooms, where they reliably control gas-phase particulates.
Our glass fiber filter media is also used in respiratory protection, particularly full- and half-face powered air purifying respirators (PAPRs). With a mini-pleat configuration, glass fiber media can achieve up to P100 and high-efficiency (HE) filtration in the final filter.
H&V glass fiber filter media can also be used in HVAC mini-pleat panels and V-bank filters. Available in durable and high-performance platforms, our micro glass fiber filter media is part of H&V’s ASHRAE 52.2 MERV 11-16 portfolio range.
H&V glass microfiber filter media is suitable for a multitude of other needs, such as:
- Hydraulic filters
