Expanded Technologies’ Products Support the Media Which Achieve Higher MERV Ratings

Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) is a standard which rates the overall effectiveness of air filters. Higher value MERV rating equates to finer filtration as fewer dust particles and other airborne contaminants can pass through the filter. Higher MERV-rated pleated filters require support; our expanded metal is the most cost-effective product for this application.

Expanded Technologies’ expanded metal mesh supports filtration media in pleated filters. This gives the media rigidity and helps to maintain proper spacing between pleats, resulting in maximum filtration efficiency, low resistance, and high dust-holding capacity. In addition, our expanded metal mesh maximizes pleat stability which prevents the filter from racking or vibrating under normal airflow.
