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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this filter stop overspray and airborne paint particles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo-ply polyester media for staged particle capture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-migrating tackifier on the inner ply to hold fine particles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePorous outer layer intercepts bulky overspray\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to balance capture efficiency and airflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the internal wire support frame important?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlides into existing housings without tape or adhesives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelf-seal fit reduces risk of bypass air leakage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConsistent sizing (20\" x 20\") for predictable installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCase quantity of 20 panels for scheduled maintenance cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will these tacky intake panels typically last in service?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eService 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo-ply design improves adsorption and longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-migrating tackifier prevents transfer to other surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRobust frame maintains performance until replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecommended replacement frequency varies by usage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho 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.
