KÜÜL® pads evaporative cooling media has been manufactured in the USA since 1993. KÜÜL® pads evaporative cooling media products are currently sold through a distributor network that encompasses 50 states in the USA and 56 countries.

KÜÜL® pads are the only cooling media designed and engineered specifically for different marketplaces. KÜÜL® pads have been engineered to consider the unique product demands associated with application in the agricultural/horticultural, residential, and commercial evaporative cooling markets.

A KÜÜL® pad is the highest quality rigid cooling media on the market today. Specifically, KÜÜL® pads are constructed with a heavier, virgin quality kraft paper containing a higher resin content which provides effective and efficient cooling while giving KÜÜL® pads greater durability, strength and longevity.

The cooling media is constructed of a specially formulated paper impregnated with insoluble resin. It is designed with a cross-fluted configuration, which induces highly turbulent mixing between the water and the air inside the pad; the air is bent at angles designed to maximize the evaporative efficiency while offering the least restriction of airflow. The cross-fluted design makes the pad strong, self-cleaning and self-supporting with high evaporative efficiency and low-pressure drop (resistance to airflow). The unique system used for manufacturing KÜÜL® pads allows the manufacture of custom flute angle designs as well as the standard angles.
