How does an electrostatic filter work?
Certain materials carry more static charge than others. Most electrostatic air filters, like the AIR MEDIC, have two filter layers of polypropylene filter material. This polypropylene material carries an inherit static charge which is normally around 1,500 static volts. As air passes over the filter material, more static is created to enhance it’s ability to remove airborne particles. Some electrostatic filter types such as the POLLEN-EZE and the STATIC SHIELD utilize a polyester filter material which carries a lower voltage of 150 static volts.
