PATENTED REVOLUTION After two years’ trials on the racing tracks with the best world Teams, Sprint Filter is pleased to launch its patent that will allow it to be the only world company to manufacture air filters for combustion engines with water-‐repellent filtering elements that will prevent liquid substances to pass through them. With this in mind Sprint Filter presents its range of P08 W.P. air filters with a special water-‐repellent treatment allowing them to be used in bad weather conditions. Vehicles using air filters with external suction (generally conical or cylindrical in shape) in particular will benefit from this great innovation. It is in fact undisputed that vehicles fitted with a case-‐less air filter encounter various problems when it rains or if they come into contact with water or other liquids. Any air filter directly exposed shall get soaked and allow the liquid to enter the combustion chamber. In this case the combustion chamber shall receive not only the liquid but also all the dirt blocked by the filtering element as well as the dirt present in the rain or mud. No longer pre-‐filters or thick molasses The great advantage of the Sprint Filter patent is that it’s no longer necessary to use pre-‐ filters (mostly in polyester) that take air from the engine. In fact Sprint Filter deems it absurd to have to cover an air filter with a different type of material to trap dust (in the presence of sand and dust) or water and liquids in general (in case of rain or use of the vehicle on mud and puddles). Some filters are covered with a very low viscosity oil (commonly called molasses) to trap dust or water. This too affects the passing of air, the duration of the treatment in the presence of water, but above all it increases enormously maintenance times. The technology used The technology used by sprint Filter is the same as for the well-‐known P08 where a special PTFE treatment has been applied based on a formulation that Sprint Filter has perfected in the last two yeas on all soils. The material is the same P08 polyester woven with 5 micron single threads. The obtained yarn is characterized by 80 micron calibrated and certified holes allowing air to pass through twice as much as in any other air filter but with a much higher filtering power. The air filter is totally reconditionable thanks to a few seconds’ cleaning (cleaning with compressed air) and its life is unlimited. P08 W.P. The new range of direct suction filters, called P08 W.P. consists mainly of conical and cylindrical air filters available also with various angles and off-‐centre couplings and can be fitted directly on throttled carburettors with a diameter of between 25 and 70mm.
