Still used on space heaters.
Have a look in a hardware store around the replacement filters for HEPA
stuff.  Look at the first-stage filters.  Some of those will be fairly thin
black foam material used as the first stage to protect the main filter from
large particles.  Holds up well and readily available.  Sometimes comes as a
sleeve that goes around the large filters, but those are usually thicker
then you want.  The small ceramic space heaters are the most common to use
these as well as window airconditioners in front of the coils.
