The Purity Standard: Why High Efficiency Media is the 2026 Industrial Requirement
High Efficiency Media refers to a set of advanced nonwoven materials developed to capture even sub-micron sized particles, along with providing optimal airflow. In the 2026 industrial landscape, High Efficiency Media is the key word associated with HEPA filtration, clean room ventilation, and even high-end automotive cabin filtration. As global air quality standards continue to tighten, Parknonwoven has developed melt-blown materials to provide a purity standard.
The Mechanics of Capture: What Makes High Efficiency Media Effective High efficiency filtration is all about balancing physics. This means a media capable of catching even the smallest of impurities without sacrificing energy efficiency. This is what Parknonwoven promises to deliver through our three main principles:
Diffusion & Interception While conventional filters work on a "sieve" principle, our high efficiency media uses Brownian Motion to remove even the tiniest of impurities from the airstream, causing them to bond to our fiber surface. This ensures even impurities smaller than 0.1 microns are removed from the airstream.
Electrostatic Enhancement Our synthetic fibers are given a permanent electrostatic charge. This enables our Parknonwoven media to attract impurities to our fiber surface like a magnet. This results in a much higher capture rate without sacrificing physical density.
Gradient Density Architecture Our multi-fiber approach ensures that impurities are captured on the surface of our media, but smaller impurities are captured deep within our media. This extends the life of our media.
The Parknonwoven Solution: 2026 Mastery in Air Purity At Parknonwoven, we supply you with the technical substrates which form the heart of Medical Grade/Industrial Air Management. With 25 years of mastery, Parknonwoven guarantees your facility will be 100% compliant with worldwide 2026 purity specifications.
Melt-Blown Precision: Parknonwoven employs a high-intensity melt-blown technology to manufacture ultra-fine fibers. This maximizes total surface area, ensuring all elusive impurities are captured.
Structural Pleat Stability: Our media is engineered to withstand high-speed pleating. Our media maintains its 'V-shape' even at high-pressure conditions, ensuring pleats don't collapse. This maximizes surface area.
Low Pressure Drop Engineering: In 2026, energy costs are a key KPI. Our media has been engineered to maximize permeability. This enables your HVAC fans to move more air with less power, hence reducing your carbon footprint.
Custom Efficiency Grades: H11 to U15 (ULPA), Parknonwoven delivers a range of efficiency grades to match your purity needs. This ranges from a semiconductor manufacturing plant to a portable air purifier.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does High Efficiency Media catch viruses? Yes. While viruses are small in size, they travel on larger aerosol particles. The media's unique diffusion mechanism is very efficient in catching these sub-micron-sized virus carriers.
How does this media contribute to increased HVAC energy savings? Due to its high permeability, this media has a lower "Differential Pressure." This allows for easier air flow, so your motors don't have to struggle as hard, saving you a lot of electricity.
Is this media safe from fiber shedding? Yes. Our media features a unique "sandwich" construction that protects the high-efficiency media from fibers shedding into the clean air side of the system.
Can this media be used in humid environments? Yes. Our synthetic fibers are hydrophobic and resistant to moisture. Unlike fiberglass, Parknonwoven synthetic media doesn't absorb water and therefore doesn't promote the growth of mold or degradation of the media.
Does this media meet the EN 1822 standard? Yes. All Parknonwoven high-efficiency media is tested and certified to meet the EN 1822 and ISO 29463 standards for reliable world-class performance for your 2026 project.
