High-performance filter element with advanced features like polyester needle felt material, double O-ring fitting, pleated filter media for increased efficiency, and corrosion-resistant components
FILMAX high-efficiency filter media made from borosilicate micro-glass fiber, designed for coalescing and particle removal with hydrophobic properties.
FILMAX filter media combines advanced borosilicate micro-glass fiber technology for effective coalescing, particle removal, and water droplet repulsion.

Materials are chosen based on performance characteristics:

  • Superior Filtration Media: We use high-efficiency borosilicate micro-glass fiber media with a pleated design for a larger filtration surface area and higher dirt-holding capacity.
  • Exceptional Coalescing: The hydrophobic properties of our media effectively repel water, ensuring your compressed air stays dry.
  • Durable Drain Layer: The polyester needle felt drain layer is resistant to high temperatures and synthetic oils.
  • Leak-Proof Seal: A double O-ring seal guarantees that 100% of the air passes through the filter media, preventing any bypass of contaminants.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Components: Stainless steel (SS304) inner sleeve and non-corrosive end caps ensure a long and reliable service life.

Find the Perfect Filter Grade for Your Needs

Our filters are available in four distinct grades to meet the specific air quality requirements of your application, aligned with ISO 8573-1 air purity classes.

GradeFiltration EfficiencyPurposeResidual Oil ContentISO 8573-1:2010 Class
(Particles / Oil)
X33 µmPre-filter for general-purpose protection-Class 3 / -
X11 µmGeneral filtration for tools & equipment≤ 0.1 mg/m³Class 2 / Class 3
XA0.01 µmHigh-efficiency coalescing for critical applications≤ 0.01 mg/m³Class 1 / Class 2
XAC-Activated carbon for odor & vapor removal≤ 0.003 mg/m³Class 1 / Class 1

Quick Filter Selection Guide

  • X3 (Pre-filter): Ideal for removing solid contaminants and protecting downstream filters.
  • X1 (General Purpose): Protects pneumatic tools, motors, and cylinders from particles and aerosols.
  • XA (High Purity): Essential for applications like spray painting, instrumentation, and food processing where high-purity air is critical.
  • XAC (Oil Vapour & Odour Removal): For the most demanding applications, such as breathing air, food and beverage packaging, and pharmaceuticals.
