tesa Clean Air® Fine dust filter for laser printers

Laser printers emit the finest dust particles. In some offices, the level of fine dust is as high as in the vicinity of a motorway with average traffic. Protect yourself with the tesa® Clean Air fine dust filter!

tesa® Clean Air Fine Dust Particle Filter

  • TÜV NORD (Technical German Controlboard) has confirmed the effectiveness of the filter: up to 94% of all fine dust particles are reliably trapped in the filter1
  • The three-layer structure of the fleece ensures that particles of all sizes are reliably captured
  • High air permeability ensures that the printer continues to operate fully

How the fine dust filter for laser printers works

​Tesa Clean Air® provides a better room climate and effectively protects against fine dust from the laser printer. Find out here how the printer filter achieves this! tesa® Clean Air filters even ultra-fine dust particles with its three-layer high-performance fleece. In this way, the fine dust filter prevents them from entering the lungs and causing damage to health.

Each of the three layers takes on an important task:

  • The first layer filters larger dust particles.
  • The second layer binds smaller particles thanks to electrostatically charged microfibres.
  • The third layer is extremely fine-pored and filters even the smallest fine dust particles.

Simple installation with great effect

The attachment with self-adhesive hook & loop tape enables the uncomplicated use of tesa® Clean Air. In this way, the filter achieves maximum effect with little effort: up to 94 percent of all fine dust particles are filtered without affecting the quality and performance of the printer.

Reduce dangerous fine dust pollution

  • Retains up to 94 percent of all fine and ultra-fine dust particles-94% max: Die durchschnittliche Filterleistung der Partikel zwischen 0,0001 und 0,002 mm Größe liegt bei 85% bis 94% bei einer maximalen Filterdurchströmgeschwindigkeit von 2m/min.
  • Provides healthier air and protects from unnecessary pollution
  • Simple application thanks to a self-adhesive hook and loop system
  • ​Certified effectiveness against fine and toner dustPrüfbericht TÜV Nord vom 11.10.2017 im Auftrag der tesa SE.
  • Long-term protection: up to 70,000 prints or at most 12 months

The Problem: Fine Dust Diminishes Health

Health effects of particulate matter emissions depend on the size of the particles. Larger fine dust particles, which are emitted by cars, for example, settle more heavily in the body than very small fine dust from laser printers. The smaller the particles, the more frequently health impairments of the entire organ system are observed. Ultra-fine dusts are among the highly carcinogenic particles and are therefore particularly harmful. According to studies, particles from an average size of less than 10 micrometres can worsen lung function, particles below a size of 2.5 micrometres can already trigger systemic disease effects such as tumours or cardiovascular weakness.

Why is fine dust so dangerous?

Fine dust is an air pollutant and poses a risk to health - and the Earth's climate. The fine dust particles can enter the human body through respiration and cause a wide range of negative reactions.

Depending on the size of the particles, high exposure to fine dust favours the development of asthma, allergies, cardiovascular diseases and even cancer. Smaller dust particles, e.g. from laser printers, settle much more easily in the body.

The biggest sources of fine dust outdoors are combustion engines, coal-fired power plants, industrial plants, brake and tyre abrasion from vehicles, and agriculture.

Indoors, laser printers are among the most important sources of fine dust, along with toasters, candles and gas cookers. In offices, the widely used laser printers are therefore a potential risk. Many workers stay close to them throughout working hours and thus unknowingly expose themselves to health hazards.

Fine dust filters for laser printers significantly reduce the contamination of office air. Furthermore, if the office rooms are ventilated regularly, the air quality is improved even further.
