Universal Air Filter® has created the thinnest media available that meets the UL 94 HF-1 rating and dust arrestance requirements for NEBS. This new 0.12-inch-thick Quadrafoam is perfect for design engineers looking for an ultra-thin media and is ideal for all telecom equipment, including networking servers, ATCA and microTCA chassis.

“Until now, design engineers for all product markets couldn’t find a 0.12-inch-thick media that also met the UL 94 HF-1 requirement,” said Mike Miano, engineering and sales manager at UAF. “This is beneficial for any industry requiring UL classification and CE compliance.”

Thin Quadrafoam media is soft and compressible and available in 45, 60 and 80 pores-per-inch (PPI). In addition to filtration applications, it can also be bonded to interior chassis walls for insulation or circuit card stabilization purposes.

A design engineer looking to evaluate a UAF air filter can access UAF’s complimentary, round-the-clock prototype service available worldwide via www.uaf.com. The prototype service provides design engineers with assistance in meeting critical design, testing and evaluation deadlines for air filter media. To receive a prototype, the engineer can submit a request on the Internet or via telephone, fax or e-mail. Once the prototype is submitted, it is produced and shipped within five working days.

Universal Air Filter products are RoHS Compliant and meet the following standards and classifications: UL 94 HF-1, ATCA, UL 900 Class 2, CE, Telcordia, NEBS GR-78-CORE and GR-63-CORE, micro TCA and ETSI.
