Is this suitable for MDF dust? Is this, combined with a strong fan a suitable alternative to an expensive dust extractor (class M)?
ABEK1P3 filters are suitable for MDF dust to protect from the fine dust and Formaldehyde created by high heat friction when machine working MDF. Although not an alternative to proper extraction, the filters can be used in conjunction with an extractor to achieve adequate protection. Ensuring suitable ventilation will result in lowering the dust concentration levels in the air and will prolong the life of the filters as they will not need to filter as much dust per litre of air, however care should be taken where the dust laden air is extracted to.
