Pleats

More pleats mean more surface area to fill with unwanted particles.

Filter Media

Filtrete Filter media is less than 15% fiber - the rest is air. The low density allows air to flow through and helps the filter load through the depth of the media, not just on the surface.

Electrostatic Charge

Most Filtrete Filters (those MPR 300 and above) are pleated with an electrostatic charge. The charge acts like a magnet to capture microscopic allergens and particles without restricting airflow.

MPR and MERV Ratings

The higher the MPR, the more microparticles your filter will help capture from the air (think pollen, pet dander, bacteria, and viruses.)
