Filter Type: It’s an air filter. The term “plane filter” indicates it’s a flat, panel-style filter, as opposed to a pleated or bag filter.
G4 Classification: “G4” refers to its efficiency class according to European standards (like EN 779 or ISO 16890 Coarse 60-65%). G4 filters are considered coarse filters or pre-filters. This means their primary job is to capture larger particles.
- What they filter: G4 filters are effective at removing larger airborne particles such as:
- Large dust particles
- Pollen
- Insect debris
- Lint
- Hair
- Other coarse contaminants
Synthetic Media: “Synthetic” refers to the material the filter media is made from. This typically means non-woven synthetic fibers (e.g., polyester, polypropylene) as opposed to natural fibers (like cotton) or specialized media (like activated carbon or fiberglass in HEPA filters).
- Benefits of Synthetic Media:
- Moisture Resistance: Synthetic media generally handles moisture better than some other materials.
- Durability: They are often quite robust.
- Consistent Performance: Provide consistent filtration even when wet.
- Cost-Effective: Often a more economical choice for pre-filtration.
