The antimicrobial must have no water solubility. The antimicrobial must be registered by the EPA for use in filters. The antimicrobial must also have clearance for use under regulations of USDA and FDA. All testing on the antimicrobial must be in compliance with the American Society of Test Methods (ASTM). -Each filter shall have a minimum efficiency reporting value of MERV 7 when evaluated under the guidelines of ASHRAE Standard 52.2. The media shall have an average efficiency of 22.7%, an average arrestance of not less than 85.3%, and a dust holding capacity of 157 grams at 1.0" w.g.for a 24 x 24 x 1 panel when tested in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 52.1. Initial resistance at 300 feet per minute shall not exceed 0.13" w.g. Equivalent Product: Fiberbond FB57604487 (44-7/8) 3. Ring Panel Filters, 1.5" Polyester, MERV 8 -The filter panel shall be of a multi-layered synthetic media design, securely heat sealed around an internal wire support grid. To prevent media fluttering and sifting of trapped dust, the media layers shall 1" Deep Pleated Panel Filter, Medium Efficiency, MERV 8 -The filter must be medium efficiency ASHRAE pleated, disposable type. Each filter must consist of a cotton and synthetic media, welded wire media support grid, and kraft board enclosing frame. The filter must be listed and identified on the frame by Underwriters Laboratories as UL 900. -Each filter shall have no less than 2.3 square feet of media per square foot of filter face area and no less than 16 pleats per linear foot of filter face area. A 96% open area media support grid, coated with rust inhibitor, shall be bonded to the air exiting side of the filter. The enclosing frame shall be of high wetstrength beverage board with diagonal support members bonded to the air entering and air exiting side of each pleat. The inside periphery of the enclosing frame shall be bonded to the filter pack. -Each filter shall have a minimum efficiency reporting value of MERV 8 when evaluated under the guidelines of ASHRAE Standard 52.2. It shall also have a MERV-A of 8 when tested per Appendix J of ASHRAE Standard 52.2. Initial resistance to airflow shall not exceed 0.25" at an airflow of 350 fpm. Manufacturer shall guarantee integrity of product to 2.0" w.g. -The manufacturer shall provide evidence of facility certification to ISO 9001:2008.
