Specialty finishes protect air filters and add flexibility

By Design World Staff | January 14, 2008

Universal Air Filter (www.uaf.com) offers a range of specialty metal finishes designed to increase its air filters’ performance in harsh, challenging environments. These chrome-free, RoHS Compliant finishes are applied to the filter’s metallic components — frames, Uni-grid support, brackets and honeycomb — and provide benefits for a wide range of applications.

Many military/defense applications require a protective finish against corrosion for MIL-C-5541 Class 1A and/or Class 3 compliance. Clear and yellow chemical conversion coatings are important for EMI shielding, creating and maintaining electrical continuity as a path for grounding. These coatings can prevent corrosion from becoming an insulator and potentially negating the effectiveness of the EMI shield.

Industrial design is an important aesthetic consideration for commercial equipment manufacturers in many fields, such as telecom, computer networking and medical. With anodize available in a range of colors, including black, red, blue and epoxy powder coating available to match most enclosure finishes, the filter becomes a decorative bezel so designers can bring the filter outside the enclosure as a key component of their industrial designs. This freedom of design has the added benefit of providing easy access to the air filter for maintenance.

Universal Air Filter offers a free prototype service to design engineers worldwide at www.uaf.com. An Internet-submitted prototype request, quick phone call, fax or e-mail is all it takes to get the process started. The free prototype is then produced and shipped within five working days.
