Abstract:
A filter reinforcing material is disclosed that does not cause peeling or pleat adhesion at the time of pleating, is excellent in pleating, and has high stiffness. A filter reinforcing material includes a bonding layer comprising a thermal bonded nonwoven including thermal bondable short fibers, and a reinforcing layer comprising a nonwoven including high-melting fibers having a higher melting point than a melting point of the thermal bondable short fibers having the lowest melting point in the bonding layer by 30° C. or more. Further, the bonding layer preferably comprises two or more kinds of thermal bondable short fibers with a fineness difference of more than or equal to 5 dtex.

The primary filtration layer includes meltblown electret fibers. The prefilter layer includes meltspun, spunbonded electret fibers that comprise a radially outer surface comprising polymethylpentene. The ratio of Effective Fiber Diameter of the fibers of the primary filtration layer to Effective Fiber Diameter of the fibers of the primary filtration layer is at least 1.5.
Abstract:
The present invention is generally related to a high capacity, high efficiency nonwoven filtration media comprising a gradient pore structure. In particular, the filtration media can comprise thermoplastic synthetic microfibers, fibrillated fibers, staple fibers, and a binder. Furthermore, the filtration media may be produced without the use of glass fibers or microglass fibers. Consequently, the filtration media of the present invention does not cause the same issues as conventional filtration media that comprises glass fibers and/or microglass fibers. Moreover, the filtration media can be used to treat fuel, lubrication fluids, hydraulic fluids, and various other industrial gases.
Abstract:
A filter material for an air filter may include a substrate layer on an inflow side and a fine-fiber layer on an outflow side relative to a flow direction. The filter material may include a connection region arranged between the substrate layer and the fine-fiber layer. The substrate layer, connection region and fine-fiber layer may include pores having an aggregate degressive pore size with respect to the flow direction. A combined thickness of the substrate layer, connection region and fine-fiber layer may be at least 0.35 mm. The substrate layer may include a cellulose material and have an impregnation of resin disposed along the inflow side. The resin may amount to approximately 22% by mass of the substrate layer.
Abstract:
Disclosed are fibers comprising identification fibers which can be used for tracking and tracing fibers, yarns, fiber bands, and/or articles comprising the fibers through at least part of the supply chain. Each identification fiber exhibits at least one distinct feature. Each group of distinguishable identification fibers can exhibit a taggant cross-section shape, a taggant cross-section size, or combination of the same taggant cross-section shape and same taggant cross-section size. The distinct features and the number of fibers in each group of distinguishable identification fibers can represent at least one supply chain component of the fibers. The distinct features can be detectable in an article comprising the fibers.
