Fire retardant air filters are fast becoming a must have in fire prone environments. The need to prevent potentially flammable air filters from igniting after or during contact with hot embers, sparks or cigarette butts that may have been sucked in through the air intake during bush fire events is an ever increasingly concern.
The utilisation of fire-retardant air filters inhibit combustion when exposed to embers, sparks or fire. When the media is exposed to a flame the media will self-extinguish on removal of the flame, blackening the media but unable to sustain ignition or smouldering. The special media is impregnated with non-toxic fire-retardant resin to reduce the ability of the media to support combustion.
