DIFFUSION MEDIA
FF-500 G (M5)
• FINAL FILTRATION BARRIER to paint damaging
particles from the air intake stream
• SELF EXTINGUISHING ACCORDING DIN 53438-F1
• 100% ADHESIVE SATURATION FOR MAXIMUM
PROTECTION
• QUALITY ASSURANCE ACCORDING EN 779:2012
DESCRIPTION
Fine air filtration media specifically designed to be used in
down-draft paint spray booths as final filtration barrier to all
paint damaging particles from the intake air stream. This
ceiling filter or diffusion Media ensures a uniform air distribu-
tion and a laminar airflow throughout the spray booth, when
applied in paint spray and surface treatment facilities.
Synthetic fiber-based filter media developed and manufac-
tured at Filtrair’s high-tech media plant based in The Nether-
lands.
This filter media is constructed from selected high perfor-
mance, nonbreakable fibers in a progressive density multi-
layering technique allowing high depth loading to ensure
high dust holding capacity with optimal lowest pressure
drop performance.
This media is thermally bonded and impregnated in full
depth with a special tackifier coating to prevent any release
of fibers and migration of paint damaging particles larger
than 10 microns due to vibration in the system, even under
varying temperature conditions.
The result is satisfactory fractional efficiency combined with
a high dust loading capacity, a long filter life as well as low
energy and maintenance costs. In addition, this Diffusion
Media has a particularly interesting cost-performance ratio
for a very competitive advantage in the automotive repair
after markets and all kinds of surface treatment facilities in
other markets.

FLAMMABILITY RATINGS
Filtrair FF-500 G conforms to European Union fire classifica-
tion standards (DIN 53438-F1) and is self-extinguishing. It is
resistant to evaporated solvents and is manufactured in a
100% silicone-free environment.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Constant quality is assured by quality control testing accor-
ding to EN-779:2012. The M5 filter class is imprinted on the
Automotive after market
media.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• FULL PENETRATION OF SPECIAL ADHESIVE prevents any
release of fibers and migration of particles larger than
10 microns.
• GRADIENT DENSITY STRUCTURE ensures a uniform air dis-
tribution and a laminar flow throughout the spray booth.
APPLICATIONS
This quality and most economical Filtrair diffusion media is
specially designed to be used in the ceiling of paint spray
and surface treatment facilities in the automotive repair in-
dustries and many other industries. The media enhances a
uniform air distribution and a laminar air flow. Further, it acts
as the final filtration barrier to paint damaging particles to
ensure quality surface finishes.
With its optimal cost-performance ratio this versatile Diffusion
Media offers a unique competitive advantage in all applica-
tions and markets.
