ULPA Filters
ULPA filters (Ultra Low Penetration Air filters) offer exceptionally high air filtration efficiency, with the capacity to remove 99.999% of particles measuring 0.12 micrometres or larger from the air. These filters are ideal for applications in environments where air quality is of the utmost importance, such as cleanrooms, laboratories and the pharmaceutical industry. By using ULPA filters, companies can guarantee a clean and safe working environment, which is essential for the production of sensitive products and the maintenance of strict quality standards.

Where is an ULPA filter used?
ULPA filters are used in applications where air quality is of the utmost importance. ULPA filters are widely used in cleanrooms, laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturing and other workspaces where minimal particle concentration is required. These ULPA filters ensure that even the smallest particles are effectively removed from the air, which is crucial for ensuring safety and product quality in highly sensitive environments.
Devices that use ULPA filters:
- Medical air purification systems: In medical equipment, such as air purification systems in operating theatres, ULPA filters ensure extremely clean air, preventing infections and contamination.
- Ventilation systems: ULPA filters are used in ventilation systems to ensure the ultimate in air purification, which is essential in applications such as clean rooms and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
- Air purifiers: ULPA filters are used in air purifiers to bring the air to the highest level of purity, ideal for environments that require strictly controlled air quality.
Sectors where ULPA filters are used:
- Healthcare: ULPA filters are used in hospitals and clinics to purify the air in operating theatres and other sensitive areas, minimising the risk of infection.
- Pharmaceutical industry: In pharmaceutical production, ULPA filters are used to keep the air in cleanrooms and laboratories free of contaminants that could affect product quality.
- Electronics and semiconductor manufacturing: ULPA filters are used in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing to purify the air of dust particles that could damage product quality.
What types of ULPA filters are available?
ULPA filters are available in various designs, depending on the degree of filtration required. Most ULPA filters fall under the U15, U16 or U17 classification, with the highest class (U17) offering a filtration efficiency of 99.9995%. These filters are designed for the most demanding applications, such as in cleanrooms and other controlled environments where air quality is extremely critical.
- U15 ULPA filter: Class U15 ULPA filters offer a filtration efficiency of 99.999% for particles measuring 0.12 micrometres or larger. They are often used in applications where a high degree of air purification is required, but where the highest efficiency is not strictly necessary.
- U16 ULPA filter: Class U16 ULPA filters have a filtration efficiency of 99.9995%. These filters are used in more demanding environments such as cleanrooms and laboratories, where air quality is critical to production and safety.
- U17 ULPA filter: Class U17 ULPA filters offer the highest filtration efficiency of 99.99995% and are used in the most critical applications. They are essential for environments where even the smallest particles, such as in pharmaceutical production or high-tech electronics, can have a major impact.
What are the advantages of ULPA filters?
ULPA filters offer many advantages for people looking for the very best protection against harmful substances in the air:
- Extremely high filtration efficiency: ULPA filters remove 99.999% of particles measuring 0.12 micrometres or larger, ensuring unrivalled air purity.
- Enhanced product quality: By purifying the air in critical environments, ULPA filters help to ensure product quality, particularly in the pharmaceutical and electronics industries.
- Healthier working environment: The use of ULPA filters reduces exposure to harmful particles, contributing to the health of workers in sensitive environments.
- Reliability in controlled environments: ULPA filters ensure the air quality required in cleanrooms, laboratories and medical areas, where the lowest particle concentration is crucial.
- Sustainability: ULPA filters have a long service life and can help reduce the frequency of replacements, contributing to lower long-term operating costs.
