RP aluminum washable air filters are designed to provide
excellent filtering efficiency with a high dust holding capacity
and a minimum amount of resistance to air flow. Because they
are constructed entirely of aluminum, they are light weight
and easy to service. Optimum filter performance is
maintained by recoating the filters after washing with RP
Super Filter Coat adhesive. To achieve maximum performance
from your air handling equiment, the air filter should be
cleaned on a regular basis.
