The new materials offer extended filter lifetime and generate less flow restriction due to a higher available surface area. A longer filter lifetime saves costs associated with frequent filter replacements and also reduces energy consumption and minimizes environmental impacts by lowering emissions.
“The new calendering and embossing capabilities further advance synthetic filter media solutions. They improve durability and open a wide range of possibilities for extended performance, as well as improving the sustainability of filtration units,” said Kathrin Hueppe, Ahlstrom’s head of Filtration, Asia.
The materials are used for air and liquid filtration applications, including air pollution control, air intake, water, oil and fuel filtration.
