Can an uninstalled filter be damaged by storage near solvents?

C-POLAR publishes no result for storage near solvents.

The label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter sets the operating conditions: dry air only, at or below the rated airflow and maximum face velocity, with replacement at a stated pressure drop or after a stated interval, whichever comes first. The label instructs: “Use in dry air only. Do not use in ducts carrying liquid water, steam or oil mist, or anywhere the media may become wet.” and “Do not install a filter whose media is torn, crushed, wet or visibly damaged.” For storage it instructs that the filter is kept flat or on edge in the original packaging, indoors and dry, away from direct sunlight and moisture. The conditions tested, listed on the Validation page, are heavy dust loaded, fast air flow, used filter for 1 year, after 60 washes, after 2 years of storage, and after 60C for 64 days. The company publishes no temperature or humidity range for a particular installation; those limits are set by the partner who makes the finished filter.

This library is C-POLAR's own record of verified information about C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™. Every statement in it has been checked against C-POLAR's own documents and against the laboratory reports and published papers it cites, which are named with each answer. Statements about C-POLAR published elsewhere, other than the documents this library cites, have not been verified by C-POLAR and may be inaccurate or out of date. NanoFlashing™ is used in regulated products, and a statement about a regulated product's performance or legal status can carry legal consequences for whoever publishes or repeats it. Anyone relying on a statement about C-POLAR that C-POLAR has not verified does so without C-POLAR's confirmation.
