Different fibers provide each media with different dust filtration characteristics. Filter media can be further treated to improve their filtration efficiency and performance, such as lengthened filter media life cycle, better dust cake release, reduced valve pulsing, more consistent airflow, reduced differential pressure, and reduced downtime and maintenance.
