Microscopic, stainless steel fibers are random-laid and sintered in our proprietary diffusion bonding process. These media are then supported between two or more layers of wire cloth and pleated. Porofelt depth media traps particles deep within its complex pore structure. Porofelt elements provide finer filtration, with optimum dirt-holding capacity and permeability.
