High Efficiency Filter Bag – MLC Series

The CMI MLC Series High Efficiency Filter Bags are designed for applications requiring absolute-rated performance and high particle removal efficiency up to 99%.
Manufactured using multi-layer melt-blown polypropylene microfiber media, these bags achieve exceptional filtration efficiency while maintaining high dirt-holding capacity.

The internal microfiber layers effectively trap fine particles and also capture gelatinous contaminants, making the MLC Series ideal for demanding applications such as coatings, automotive paint, inks, electronics, and high-purity process fluids.

MLC Series is commonly used as a drop-in replacement for Eaton LCR bags.

Absolute Rated Microfiber Filter Bags for High Purity Applications

Product Overview

The CMI MLC Series High Efficiency Filter Bags are designed for applications requiring absolute-rated performance and high particle removal efficiency up to 99%.

Manufactured using multi-layer melt-blown polypropylene microfiber media, these bags achieve exceptional filtration efficiency while maintaining high dirt-holding capacity.

The internal microfiber layers effectively trap fine particles and also capture gelatinous contaminants, making the MLC Series ideal for demanding applications such as coatings, automotive paint, inks, electronics, and high-purity process fluids.

MLC Series is commonly used as a drop-in replacement for Eaton LCR bags.

CMI offers two performance levels:

MLC-1 Series
Standard absolute-rated bags for fine particle removal.

MLC-5 Series
Advanced multi-layer structure for high dirt loading, longer service life, and superior gel retention.


Key Features

  • Absolute filtration rating (up to 99% efficiency)
    Multi-layer melt-blown PP captures fine particles with high accuracy.
  • High dirt-holding capacity
    Multiple microfiber layers retain large amounts of contaminants.
  • Effective gel retention
    Designed to break up and trap gelatinous contaminants that pass through standard felt bags.
  • Long service life
    MLC-5 series offers extended lifetime and fewer filter changes.
  • Silicone-free construction
    Safe for paint, coating, and automotive applications requiring zero silicone contamination.
  • 100% polypropylene microfibers
    Provides excellent chemical compatibility and consistent filtration performance.
