Fibre bags with Hybrid Membrane Technology

DuPont has announced the global availability of its Hybrid Membrane Technology (HMT) fibre in air filtration bag applications for industrial and commercial manufacturing. The product rollout has begun in the United States and Europe with availability through DuPont's laminator network.

Referred to in the industry as 'dust collection bags', these filtration products are used with exit air to capture particles so they are not emitted to the environment. The incumbent polyester felt bags are commonly used at any production facility that generates particulates and dust from wood, cement, asphalt, paint, minerals and powders.

According to Dupont the HMT fibre bags provide air flow with an improved cycle time and better capture of particulates. The company says that Initial DuPont data, based on industry testing standards, shows that HMT technology provides energy savings by reducing down time and providing more consistent pressure levels.
