Matala Filter Pad Sheets

The various densities can be used in sequence or separately for unique filtration requirements. This is one of the greatest characteristics which Matala has to offer. No other media on the market can perform this step-wise filtration. Matala effectively separates large particles to small and still maintains a very aerobic and free flow of water without channeling.

Matala is slightly buoyant and will not sink to the bottom of your filter. Matala stood vertically on end will not float. Matala stacked horizontally will hold each other down.

Due to it's rigidity the Matala can be wedged in place in the filter without support.

Matala has the following characteristics:

• Full size sheet 48" x 39" x 1.5" (120cm x 100cm x 4cm) for all densities; Black, Green, Blue and Gray.
• Half size sheet 24" x 39" x 1.5"
• Weight per full sheet is between 6 to 8 pounds depending on density.
• One sheet is 13 sq.ft.
• 8 sq.ft. equals 1 cubic ft of media.
• One full sheet equals 1.6 cubic feet or 12 gallon volume.
• Semi-rigid and self-supporting
• Specific gravity: 0.95. Slightly buoyant.
• Made of Thermopoly Propylene compound - Nontoxic to environment.

Half Sheets can be shipped via UPS Ground, but may have to be folded to fit packaging.

Full Sheets have to be shipped via freight truck due to size of filter pad.
