CONTAMINANT CONTROL FOR
PRESERVATION & PROTECTION
Time and contaminated air lead to deterioration and loss of precious artifacts. Reducing toxins — through filters engineered for specific contaminants — can help protect important acquisitions as well as visitors and staff. AAF works with libraries, museums and archive facilities to identify individual air quality issues and offer innovative solutions. These long-lasting, high-performance systems can also be an important part of supporting sustainability and budget goals.

INDUSTRY-LEADING PRODUCTS
PerfectPleat® HC M8
The PerfectPleat HC M8 filter is our highest-performing self-supported pleated filter. It is designed to help lower overall operating costs. The strong, metal-free design promotes even dust-loading for a longer life and reduced energy use
SAAFOxidant™
SAAFOxidant is a patent-pending, high-capacity engineered gas-removal chemical media. It’s designed to efficiently remove acid gasses such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitric oxide and formaldehyde. The non-flammable and non-toxic pellet doesn’t support bacterial or fungal growth.
SAAFCarb™
SAAFCarb is an activated carbon pellet designed to remove 99.5% of targeted contaminants from the air. These include diesel fumes, hydrocarbons, chlorine and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The pellets are suitable for use in commercial and industrial systems.
SAAFBlend™ GP
SAAFBlend GP is a general-purpose high-capacity blend. It combines the power of SAAFOxidant and SAAFCarb to remove both reactive compounds and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). It’s suitable for commercial and industrial systems and performs well in extreme temperatures

FILTERS TOXIC GASES THAT CAN DAMAGE PRECIOUS ARTIFACTS
MANAGES HUMIDITY LEVELS AND HELPS CONTROL AIRBORNE CONTAMINANTS
DESIGNED TO USE LESS ENERGY TO HELP CONTROL OPERATING COSTS
Filters toxic gases that can damage precious artifacts
Books, textiles and metal artifacts can be damaged by gases created by outdoor pollution and indoor furnishings. Many museums and archives target toxic contaminants through filtration specifically designed for their needs. AAF air purification systems are available with a selection of engineered filter media. SAAFCarb filters can reduce chlorine, hydrocarbons, ozone and VOCs, while SAAFOxidant helps control formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide and more.
Designed to use less energy to help control operating costs
Art galleries, museums and archives continually face budget pressures. Long-lasting, high-efficiency filtration can help shield against rising energy costs — while designs that extend the life of a filter can help cut down on maintenance. AAF solutions include PerfectPleat HC filtration. These self-supporting pleated filters are developed to use less energy and last longer.
