Air Filters Inc.’s Astro-Sorb Plus: Pleated Carbon w/MERV Filters provides light to moderate odor control. The AstroSorb Plus: Pleated Carbon Filters are manufactured using a granular activated carbon that is laminated to a premium synthetic fiber filter media. The Astro-Sorb Plus Pleated Carbon Filters are available in a MERV 6, 10, 11, or 13. The media is reinforced with an expanded metal backing to prevent media from sagging during use.
Air Filters Inc.’s Astro-Sorb™ carbon pleated filters provide superior odor and particulate capture by using activated carbon, combined with a non-woven polyester media. Unlike the typical coal-based carbon, the activated carbon is made with a coconut shell-based material. The carbon opens up when heated, making it more porous and giving it a larger surface area. The synthetic media is then chemically enriched with 200 grams/sq. meter of coconut-based activated carbon.
The Astro-Sorb™ is highly efficient while effectively capturing and removing air pollutants and odors. The Astro-Sorb™ captures and traps VOCs, gases, and vapors through the process of chemical adsorption. Activated carbon pleated air filters act as a “sponge” to harmful gases and vapors, effectively stopping and trapping contaminants that can bypass the human body’s natural defenses and cause illnesses. The Astro-Sorb™ is designed with residential and commercial HVAC industries in mind, with features including low-pressure drop, high dust holding capacity, and odor adsorption.
