Tri-layered Carbon Filter
Three specifically selected grades of carbon, including base and chemically impregnated, are formed into separated layers to provide effective filtration for the range of fumes produced in a school science laboratory. Different types of carbon are utilized to ensure effective adsorption of the organic and inorganic substances that may be released, and as detailed in Building Bulletin 88 (see table opposite).

The product is supplied with a single face seal. As the product is omni-directional in terms of airflow, this suffices as either a clean or dirty airside gasket. If required two gaskets can be fitted

Pre-Filter Supply
To remove dusts and other particles that may arise to protect both the people present and to extend the life of Tri-layered Carbon Filter, a pre-filter should be fitted to the air-on face of the carbon filter.
