itg were probably the first company to manufacture a
truly durable, high
performance
foam-based production air filter.
Why foam? Because,
compared to paper or other filter technologies, reticulated
polyester foam achieves optimum performance
against three key criteria:
Maximum Air Flow - the
ability to allow air to pass
through without causing a
large drop in pressure.
Cleaning Efficiency - the capability to arrest a high
proportion of airborne dust while feeding the engine
clean air.
Dust Load-up Tolerance -
the capability to absorb a
large amount of dust without reducing air flow capacity.
Look at the figures in the graph to
see just how an itg filter out performs the best cotton
or paper filters.
With our unique Tri-Foam System, which uses various thicknesses of finer
or coarser foams, these factors can be varied for different applications.
Tri-foam gives us the flexibility to produce air filters to exact specifications
and, where high flow rates are possible, we can tailor filters to arrest
even the slightest dust traces.
Compared to other designs, itg filters offer many additional
advantages, including a significant reduction in noise while providing
more power for longer.
What's more, because we use the very latest adhesive technologies
to bond the foam layers, itg filter assemblies are totally
resistant to water, fumes, oils and fuels - including the exotic brews
used in racing.
