🔑 Key Takeaways
• Filter material directly affects service life, pressure stability, and VOC breakthrough risk
• Polyolefin (TS5000S) is suitable for high VOC load / long operating hours / continuous production
• Nonwoven (TS5000K) is suitable for moderate load / cost-focused projects / flame-retardant needs
• Choosing the wrong material leads to early clogging and frequent auto-switch operation
• Both materials achieve ≥85% filtration efficiency (ASHRAE); the difference lies in clogging behavior
________________________________________

In Roll-type Carbon Filter systems, many factories focus on roll length or the auto-switch mechanism.
In reality, the support material holding the activated carbon is a key factor that determines system stability under high VOC load and multi-shift operation.

This article explains, in a clear and practical way, how Polyolefin and Nonwoven differ—and how to choose the right one.

🔶 Why Filter Material Causes “Early Clogging”
Even with a roll-type structure and auto-switch system, using the wrong material can cause:
• Rapid increase in pressure drop
• Auto-switch activating too frequently
• VOC breakthrough before the intended switching point
The root cause lies in how each material handles paint mist and maintains airflow paths.

🔶 Key Differences Between Polyolefin and Nonwoven
Polyolefin (TS5000S)
• High structural stability, resists deformation
• Handles overspray and humidity well
• Maintains open airflow channels → stable pressure
• Ideal for high VOC load and long-term operation

Nonwoven Fabric (TS5000K)
• Flexible compressed fibers, lower cost
• Flame-retardant
• Suitable for general applications
• May saturate faster under continuous heavy overspray

🔶 How to Choose the Right Material (Simple Rules)
• High VOC + 16–24 h operation → Polyolefin
• Moderate VOC + cost control → Nonwoven
• Do not judge by efficiency alone
Both materials meet ≥85% (ASHRAE)
👉 The real difference is slow vs fast clogging

🔶 Comparison Summary
Polyolefin (TS5000S)
• High shape stability
• Low deformation
• Very stable pressure
• Less frequent auto-switch
• Higher cost

Nonwoven (TS5000K)
• Flexible structure
• Higher deformation risk
• Stable pressure (moderate)
• More frequent auto-switch
• About half the cost
• Flame-retardant ✔

🔶 What Happens When the Wrong Material Is Chosen
Plastic parts paint shop, 3-shift operation, solvent-based paint
Chose Nonwoven for cost reasons
Results:
• Auto-switch activated too frequently
• Pressure fluctuation at end of shifts
• VOC leakage observed

After switching to Polyolefin:
→ Pressure stabilized
→ Switching frequency reduced
→ VOC control improved

📘 Summary
Polyolefin and Nonwoven differ not only in price, but in how they behave under real VOC load.
Selecting the correct material allows the roll-type filter and auto-switch system to operate at full efficiency—maintaining stable pressure, preventing early clogging, and ensuring effective VOC control.
