SwissAire R-1 Media

FOR USE AS AN INTAKE FILTER

The SAR-1 media, made in Switzerland, provides excellent filtration efficiency. This media wa created to reduce air flow restriction while still maintaining a high level of efficiency. This product is ideal in crossdraft and downdraft booths where air velocity is a concern.

The filter media is made from a blend of polyester fibers coated with an ecologically sound tackifier, and a scrim layer on the downstream side for added strength and rigidity. The polyester fibers are fused together through a special low-melt production line. SAR-1 is made without the use of PVC or other unfavorable chemicals. In a heated environment, it’s these chemicals, and/or the tackifier and scrim which can cause fiber discharge and heavy discol- oration through the media (the browning effect). In addition, the SAR-1 scrim layer resists discoloration in a normal environment when compared to competi- tive brands.

The scrim layer also helps reduce any fibers from breaking off of the media during handling and instal- lation. The scrim increases the strength of the media and eliminates any sagging when loaded with contaminants.

Rolls are cut on a razor sharp band saw and pads are cut using a 5-1/4” rotary knife. This process vir- tually eliminates any fiber shedding from abrasive cutting techniques or carbon buildup from hot-wire cutting.
