Unlike traditional filter media, Gessner’s cellulose filter media is saturated with an eco-friendly lignin-based resin, ensuring that the filter element offers best performance, while taking a step into more sustainable filtration solutions.
Lignin is a natural polymer found in the cell walls of plants, providing structural support and rigidity. In Gessner’s filter media uses lignin for its sustainable properties, offering an ecofriendly alternative to replace fossil-based resins.
By adding the eco-friendly lignin saturation, Gessner has developed a more sustainable product that does not compromise on filtration performance nor on its mechanical properties. Additionally, it decreases formaldehyde emissions during the curing process.
Compared to standard media with a fossil-based resin saturation initial calculations show that the new lignin-based saturation filter media offers an improved product carbon footprint.
The lignin-based resin saturation is used in various automotive applications, including engine air intake, oil, and fuel filtration. But the application of lignin is not limited to these - any cellulose filter media which is currently using phenolic resins can seamlessly transition to the lignin modified saturation.
Meet the Gessner team at FILTECH, Hall 7, Stand H3, from 12–14 November in Cologne.
