Adhesives for Air Filters

Air filters play a critical role in improving indoor air quality and protecting equipment and human health across residential, automotive, and industrial applications. During filter manufacturing, adhesives are widely used for pleating filter media, bonding filter frames, sealing edges, and laminating multi-layer structures. The adhesive must ensure strong and durable bonds while maintaining the integrity and airflow performance of the filter media.

Modern adhesive technologies enable more efficient filter designs, higher production speeds, and longer service life of filter elements. Precisely applied adhesives help stabilize pleats, prevent air leakage, and enhance overall filtration efficiency. At the same time, low-emission and process-stable adhesives support consistent quality and reliable performance throughout the filter’s lifecycle.
