AUC Paint Booth Tacky Intake Filter Pad 20 x 20 (20/case) — two-ply tackified polyester, 11-gauge wire frame

AUC Series 55 Tacky Intake Filter Pad is a two-ply, tackified polyester spray booth intake panel (20" x 20", 20 per case) built on an 11-gauge internal wire support frame to trap large and fine paint overspray efficiently.

Designed for automotive, industrial and refinishing spray booths, the AUC Series 55 panel combines a porous first layer with a heavily tackified second layer to capture a wide range of particle sizes. The media is 100% polyester and impregnated with a non-migrating tackifier, and it's heat-sealed to a sturdy internal wire frame to preserve shape and filtration performance throughout service life. These panels slide into standard filter tracks without taping or collapsing, and they form a self-sealing barrier that helps prevent bypass leakage.

How does this filter stop overspray and airborne paint particles?

The Series 55 uses a two-stage capture approach. The outer porous ply traps larger droplets and debris, while the inner ply—coated with an external heavy dry tack—grabs smaller particles that pass the first layer. Together they increase overall adsorption capacity without restricting airflow excessively.

• Two-ply polyester media for staged particle capture
• Non-migrating tackifier on the inner ply to hold fine particles
• Porous outer layer intercepts bulky overspray
• Designed to balance capture efficiency and airflow

What makes the internal wire support frame important?

The internal 11-gauge wire frame keeps each panel rigid so it won’t sag or fold when installed, maintaining full face filtration across the bank. Rigidity also simplifies handling and ensures the panels slide into housings smoothly without additional assembly aids like tape or adhesives.

• 11-gauge wire frame prevents collapse under airflow
• Heat-sealed media-to-frame bond keeps the seal intact
• Improved filter bank integrity extends effective life
• Quick, tool-free installation and removal

How easy is it to install and prevent leaks around the filters?

Installation is straightforward: the panels are sized to slide into common intake tracks and remain in position thanks to the rigid frame. Once seated, the panels form a self-sealing barrier that eliminates gaps that could allow unfiltered air to bypass the media, helping maintain a cleaner booth environment.

• Slides into existing housings without tape or adhesives
• Self-seal fit reduces risk of bypass air leakage
• Consistent sizing (20" x 20") for predictable installation
• Case quantity of 20 panels for scheduled maintenance cycles

How long will these tacky intake panels typically last in service?

Service life depends on booth usage, paint types, and environmental conditions, but the Series 55 is engineered for extended life through its two-ply design and stable tackifier. The outer ply prolongs life by removing bulk particles early, while the tackified inner ply retains fine overspray without migrating or gumming up surrounding components.

• Two-ply design improves adsorption and longevity
• Non-migrating tackifier prevents transfer to other surfaces
• Robust frame maintains performance until replacement
• Recommended replacement frequency varies by usage

Who is this for: AUC Series 55 20" x 20" tacky intake filter pads are intended for paint shop managers, collision repair facilities, industrial finishing operations, and anyone operating a spray booth that requires reliable overspray capture and low-maintenance intake filtration. Choose this product when you need a durable, easy-to-install panel that balances particle capture with airflow, supplied in case quantities (20 panels) for routine maintenance.
