Abstract
Abstract The high-performance filter assembly has a filter paper made of synthetic or glass fibers and a fine particle checking member provided on the air outlet surface of the filter paper so as to overlap each other. The fine particle checking member is a thin microporous film preferably comprised of expanded porous PTFE. The assembly also has a breathable reinforcing paper member laminated or bonded to the particle checking number, in which this entity is further bonded or laminated to the air outlet surface of the filter paper.
