An air filter having a depth filter material which includes a nonwoven fabric having a upstream side and a downstream side. The nonwoven fabric is formed of adhesively and/or cohesively bonded fibers, the fibers having intertwinements which are produced by liquid-jetting from the downstream side prior to the adhesive and/or cohesive bonding, and the fibers, because of the liquid-jetting, being compacted increasingly from the upstream side toward the downstream side in such a way that differently compacted regions are formed, in which particles of different size can be separated. |
