Product Overview

Purolator® Hi-E® MERV 10 high-efficiency pleated air filters are an excellent choice for improving indoor air quality and extending the life of downstream filters for Commercial, Industrial, and Schools/Universities HVAC Applications.

Parker Purolator® MERV 10 filters effectively trap dust and particles in multi-stage HVAC systems. Our specially engineered synthetic hydrophobic media outperforms MERV 8 filters, with higher particle removal efficiency. The media’s strength is enhanced by an electroplated galvanized metal grid that maintains structural integrity of pleat geometry, even when filled with dust and moisture.

Adding to the MERV 10 filters’ durability is a two-piece, water-resistant beverage board coated with a water-repellent adhesive. The frame construction features a seven-strap diagonal support pattern with pleat tips bonded at all contact points and interlocking flaps in the frame corners. Additionally, the media is fully glued to the frame on all four sides, eliminating air bypass.

The filter design utilizes double-wall thickness around the outer edge and integral die-cut cross members, which provides strength and rigidity and prevents delaminating, excessive buckling, collapsing, racking, warping, and bending. Additionally, the galvanized steel metal grid resists rust, maintains pleat shape, and prevents fluttering for performance in even the harshest environments.

The frame is bonded with the media pack using high-strength, 100% water-repellent adhesive and provides 50% more contact points between the media pack and the frame. The 4-inch models also use die-cut finger separators to stabilize each pleat.
Filter media is made from 100% synthetic fibers and achieves a mechanical efficiency rating of MERV 8 before and after a conditioning step. The filters can be utilized in virtually any air handling application, including as a final filter or as a pre-filter in multi-stage systems.
