“Assurance's Self-Supporting Pleat technology allows filtration manufacturers to reduce costs and increase productivity by simplifying their manufacturing processes through eliminating the use of expanded metal. This cost savings is a win for our customers in terms of increasing their profitability and continues the tradition of innovation that Johns Manville is known for in the filtration industry.”
Working with Assurance with SSP, filter manufacturers can produce a superior self-supported filter that eliminates the need for the expanded metal support of the filter media. By eliminating the expense of metal itself in addition to eliminating a manufacturing step for glue and lamination of the metal wire to the filtration media, Assurance media with SSP gives manufacturers a significant operational edge. This not only lowers costs, but more importantly, it makes manufacturing safer.
Assurance is a nonwoven composite of natural and synthetic fibers tested to perform with low pressure drop. Assurance media-enabled filters meet the most stringent testing standards in mechanical air filtration, including the proposed ASHRAE Standard 52.2 test conditioning step. •Self Supporting Pleat, or SSP, reduces material costs and increases manufacturing productivity •Assurance is a mechanical filtration media that currently offers air filter manufacturers the ability to produce filters in the range of MERV 6 through 8 •Continued Assurance media development is planned to meet additional market needs
