Kimberly-Clark Introduces Gas Phase Filter Media

Commercial and institutional buildings have a new way to remove odors and other irritant gaseous contaminants from their HVAC system air stream: the new Kimberly-Clark brand odor control filtration media. The product delivers excellent particulate filtration performance with added odor removal technology to deliver clean, fresh, odor-free air, thanks in part to its two-layer construction. The upstream layer provides excellent particulate filtration and protects the downstream carbon layer from particulate loading, to ensure maximum odor removal capability. The downstream layer is made of activated carbon, one of the strongest physical adsorbents, which rapidly adsorbs and retains gaseous contaminants. The filtration media allows building owners to add gas phase filtration in single-stage systems without sacrificing particulate filtration performance, and can also act as an excellent pre-filter for multistage systems. Made of thermally bonded, 100 percent synthetic fibers that resist shedding, the product’s activated carbon components are securely bonded as well to prevent carbon shedding.  The media can be made into 1-inch, 2-inch, and 4-inch pleated air filters and has excellent pleatability for sharp, crisp pleats.
