1. Nanofibers - why now?
An overview of the Nanospider™ fiber formation process in contrast to conventional electrospinning.
Electrospinning has been an attractive technology for several decades, but has been held back due to technological and form factor considerations. Elmarco’s Nanospider™ production equipment allows the purchase of simple, proven equipment to produce nanofiber media with superior fiber, web, production and price metrics. This section of the webinar will also include an overview of the markets where nanofibers are being used.

2. Bringing nanofiber enabled products to market
The unique performance benefits nanofibres add to air and liquid filtration products.
Nanofibers are a unique performance tool for optimizing the profitability and performance of filtration media. This section of the webinar will also highlight how Elmarco helps customers integrate nanofiber manufacturing within their operations. Producing high quality, cost effective nanofiber webs is only the first step in bringing nanofiber enabled products to market. Elmarco works to ensure our customers' success in bringing new materials with new capabilities to market.
