Airguard® XTREME+Plus® HC (high-capacity) self-supported pleated (SSP) air filters are specially designed for high performance and extended service life in HVAC or process air applications with low or medium dust-holding requirements.

All XTREME+Plus® HC filters achieve MERV 8 mechanical efficiency and feature a state-of-the-art media pack surrounded by a single-piece, beverage board die-cut frame. The filters can endure impact and deformation and return to their original shape, saving users time and money that is often wasted on replacing damaged wire-backed filters.

With over 250 adhesion points between the media and the frame, the XTREME+Plus® HC resists movement, bunching, and collapsing during operation thus supporting a consistent low pressure drop, balanced dust-loading, and extended service life. With no metal to warp or deform and rugged self-supported pleat technology, the filters are capable of maintaining their structural integrity even in humid or wet conditions. XTREME+Plus® HC pleated air filters are not recommended for use in applications with high temperatures or turbulent airflow conditions.

Markets:
Commercial and Industrial HVAC
Process Air Filtration

Applications:
Air handling systems
Rooftop units
Side access housings
Built-up filter banks
Pre-filters in multi-stage systems
Not for use in high temperature environments or applications with very high or turbulent airflow

Benefits:
Self-supported media — no metal wire backing means no corrosion or deformation of metal
Consistent pleat shape and spacing allow particulates to collect evenly over the entire surface of the media. Pleat stabilizer straps add rigidity and maintain proper pleat spacing.
Over 250 adhesion points between the media and the frame
