Because of it's unique properties and composition, cotton is the ideal material for use in high performance air filters. But beyond the mere use of the material, Green High Performance Air Filters are uniquely designed, engineered, and manufactured to take full advantage of cotton's capabilities. Unlike multi-layer gauze filters which can fray and release fiber particles into your engine, Green uses two layers of tightly-interwoven cotton fabric, which produces a fabric that is thinner and stronger than other materials, while maintaining the ability to trap harmful dirt particles as small as 5 microns. The result is better airflow without sacrificing filtration. In addition, because the fabric is so durable, the filter can be washed and reused over and over.
Pleats of Strength:
Deep pleats in the double-layered cotton create a 10-20% increase in filtration surface. This increase allows a greater volume of air to move more freely into your engine cylinders.
Fits like a glove:
Green's hand-molded flexible rubber base offers an airtight seal and absorbs vibration. The 2-stage trimmable tabs allow for a custom fit and airtight seal, even in filter boxes that have been damaged or have slight surface distortions. The tabs expand and contract to fit in-between filter box sizes.
Precision production:
Other filters use a simple pressure-molded injection process to bond the perimeter rubber to the interior components. That method saves manufacturing time, but in the process, a considerable amount of rubber can seep onto the filtering surface. While it may not look like much, that spill-over rubber can restrict as much as 25% of the intended air flow. Green, on the other hand, takes the time to ensure quality by using a 4-step production process which maintains maximum air flow. |
