You may think the air that you breathe is fresh and clean. However, there are a lot more minute particles invisible to the eye that may trigger asthma attacks and allergic rhinitis among other infections. Having a HEPA air filter is an easy solution to this threat.

Particles with this size are actually the most complicated to filter and regarded as the MPPS or Most Penetrating Particle Size.

HEPA filters are composed of a mat of randomly arranged fibers. Its effectiveness depends on these fibers’ density and diameter and filter thickness. The filter operates consistently with one of three mechanisms: interception, impaction and diffusion. It is known to effectively remove air particles up to 99.97%
