Tough on Microparticles

Meet your new partner in air quality.
Filtrete™ Air Filters are the only air filters with both MERV (the industry standard) and MPR (specially engineered to measure microparticles) ratings. What does that actually mean? Our filters capture more particles than the industry standard without compromising airflow. You’ll get cleaner air without overworking your HVAC.

What is MPR?
When it comes to air filtration, remember this one acronym: MPR (Microparticle Performance Rating). These three little letters zero in on those sneaky microparticles that could worsen your indoor air quality. Unlike MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value), which simply sets the baseline for performance, the MPR rating system goes above and beyond to measure the capture of microparticles as small as 0.3 microns.

Filtrete™ Filters capture more microscopic particles than required by the MERV Standard.
Check out how MPR-rated Filtrete™ Filters outperform MERV standards.
Filtrete™ 700 MPR | MERV 8 captures more mircoparticles than the MERV standard such as lint, pollen, dust, and pet dander.
Filtrete™ 1000 MPR | MERV 10 captures 2x more mircoparticles than the MERV standard such as allergens and pet dander.
Filtrete™ 1500 MPR | MERV 12 captures 54% more mircoparticles than the MERV Standard such as allergens, bacteria & viruses.
Filtrete™ 1900 MPR | MERV 13 captures 24% more microparticles than the MERV standard such as allergens, bacteria, viruses & air pollutants.
Filtrete™ 2500 MPR | MERV 14 has more small particle capture than the MERV standard such as premium allergens, bacteria, viruses and pollutants.
Why Microparticle Capture Matters
Dust, pollen, bacteria, viruses and smoke particles—just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they’re not there, wreaking havoc on your indoor air quality. Think of your air filter as the superhero in the fight against these invisible troublemakers. Filtrete™ Air Filters harness the power of 3M Science to effectively capture and remove these unwanted particles from your air. Every MPR level not only filters out larger pollutants (like pollen and pet dander), but each level up targets more and more microparticles that could affect your home’s air quality.
