"Super HEPA" is a high-performance classification for air filters that bridge the gap between
conventional HEPA (H13/H14) and ULPA (Ultra-Low Particulate Air) filters. These filters are
engineered for critical environments where standard HEPA efficiency is insufficient, but the
extreme airflow resistance of ULPA is not desired.
Key Benefits
- ๐ก๏ธ Higher Purity: Captures ultra-fine
particulate matter and viruses that might bypass standard H13 filters.
- โ๏ธ Optimised Airflow: Superior balance
of high efficiency and manageable air resistance, requiring less fan power than
ULPA.
- โณ Extended Life: Service life of 5 to 10 years in controlled
environments when used with proper pre-filtration (EU7/F7).
Technical Specifications
- ๐ Efficiency: Typically 99.99% to
99.999% @ 0.3 µm. High-end models reach 99.9995% @ MPPS (0.1-0.2 µm).
- ๐งช Filter Media: High-density
micro-glass fibre paper. Finer and more densely packed than standard HEPA.
- ๐๏ธ Frame & Seal: Anodized Aluminium or Stainless Steel. Features
Gel-seals or high-grade Neoprene gaskets.
