FAQ: Technical Questions on Active Carbon Air Filters & Manufacturing

Q1: What is the main material for active carbon media, and why?
A: The core material is coconut shell based activated carbon, prized for its high micropore volume (~1.2-1.4 cm³/g), large surface area (1000–1800 m²/g), and superior VOC/odor adsorption efficiency. Composite nonwovens (e.g., PET or PP) serve as support substrates.
Q2: What standards determine filter efficiency and safety?
A: ISO 16890 and EN1822 set PM removal metrics; ANSI/ASHRAE 52.2 regulates lab testing; FDA EU10/2011 ensures food/medical use safety; compliance with RoHS, REACH required for EU markets.
Q3: How is filter edge heat sealing superior to glue sealing?
A: Heat sealing (by PLCQ-1) delivers airtight, uniform bonds, eliminates VOC off-gassing from glue, improves stability under variable temperature/humidity, and enhances assembly line speed/consistency.
Q4: How do you specify the correct filter thickness and pleat count?
A: Based on air flow (CFM), filter area, and expected VOC load. For residential air purifiers, pleat count 14–24/inch, thickness 10–30mm. Higher pleats = greater surface = higher efficiency, but increased pressure drop.
Q5: What testing methods are used for product validation?
A: Particle challenge (0.3μm NaCl aerosol, ISO 29463/EN1822), VOC breakthrough (6L/min, GBT18801), pressure drop (ANSI), edge-leak (dye test), and accelerated aging in environmental chambers.
Q6: What are the factory's delivery/lead times for standard and customized orders?
A: For standard active carbon air filter for air purifier models, lead time is 7–12 days; for custom or large-scale lots requiring new tool setup, 15–24 days (FOB, EXW, DDP options).
Q7: What is the warranty and after-sales policy?
A: Minimum 12-month performance guarantee, with on-site/remote technical support, fast swap/exchange for defective units, batch traceability and ISO QMS documentation.
