3M Filtrete Hepa Filter Bag – A Review

Unlike the 3M Filtrete Hepa Filter Bag, most vacuum bags are made of paper or are lined with paper. Paper-like products do not have the same level of performance that 3M HEPA filters are capable of. 3M filtrete air filters are extremely efficient and and their special design allows for superior air flow compared to paper bags.

3M Filtrete Hepa Filters – Why Are They More Effective?

3M HEPA cartridges capture dust, mold, lint, and prevent the growth of bacteria, molds and other airborne problems up to 12 times more efficiently than ordinary paper bags. Ordinary paper bags for vacuum cleaners can pass as much as 50% of the problem particles back into the air. The 3M bag vacuum cleaner bag also offers one of the lowest pressure drop or resistance to air flow in the market today. A low resistance to air flow means that the 3M HEPA filters provide optimal vacuum suction performance.

Just what makes a 3M filter bag extremely effective? The bag uses a blend of filtrete media as the filtering material in the bag, similar to that used in 3M filtrete air filters. Filtrete media is composed of 100% polypropylene fibers that have an electrostatic charge. This allows the fibers to attract and capture small airborne particles. Because the material uses electrostatic charge instead of dense layers to capture particles, the incidence of clogging and airflow reduction is dramatically reduced.

These 3M filtrete bags are 95% efficient at capturing particles 0.3 microns or smaller making them industrial-strength – yet affordable for most people. If allergens and irritants are a problem in your household, 3M HEPA bags, with their excellent performance, definitely make a difference in the air you breathe.
