Choosing the right filter media impacts performance, maintenance, and cost. Two of the most common options are 80/20 cellulose and polyester spunbond.
80/20 Cellulose
-
Blend of cellulose and synthetic fibers
-
Affordable, proven choice for dry dust applications
-
Best for general manufacturing and light to medium dust loads
-
Less durable in humid or abrasive environments; shorter service life
Polyester Spunbond
-
100% synthetic, durable media
-
Resists moisture, abrasion, and chemicals
-
Longer filter life and can often be washed/reused
-
Ideal for high-moisture, oily, or heavy-dust environments
-
Higher upfront cost but lower long-term maintenance
Which Should You Choose?
-
Go with cellulose for dry, low-demand conditions and lower upfront costs.
-
Choose spunbond when you need durability, longer life, or performance in harsh environments.
