Hybrid Membrane Technology and Better Air Quality
Lu Zhang, DuPont
With the increasing awareness of contaminants in air streams, customers today are demanding more stringent filtration apability. DuPont’s Hybrid Membrane Technology (HMT) offers a unique synthetic nanofiber- based media with superior barrier flux property and non-diminishing efficiency. It is tailored to meet the requirements of a variety of air filtration applications, including industrial HVAC and cabin air. The many benefits to end-users include enhanced air quality, reduced energy cost, and longer service life. Hear about the uniqueness of HMT media and filter performance.
Advances in Spunmelt Technology for Fine Fiber Filtration
Pierre Grondin, PGI Nonwovens
Nonwovens made with synthetic fibers comprise a major share of the filtration market. Changing industry standards, new industry initiatives, and consumer awareness
are challenging the nonwovens industry to provide new products with improved mechanical filtration efficiency. Recent advances in conventional spunmelt quipment technology and process innovations have successfully demonstrated the economical production of fine fibers excellent for improved mechanical filtration.

Adsorptive and Reactive
Nanofiber Structures
Andrew Dallas, Ph.D., Donaldson Company, Inc.
Nanofibrous substrates have been used extensively for the removal of particles from airstreams. Recently, these materials have been applied to a wide range of unique filtration and separation systems.
Also, nanofibers combined with adsorptive and reactive particles are finding uses in chemical and biological protective textile and filtration applications. Hear how the incorporation of adsorptive and reactive species with polymeric nanofibers can provide unique chemical and particle filtration
structures.
Variations in Meltblown Apparatus/Process and Resultant Web Characteristics
Edward McNally, Oerlikon Neumag Nonwovens
Review of meltblown apparatus and processes and the associated web characteristics generated by varying such configurations. Included are: polymer and polymer ratio variations, post spinning quench methods and meltblown die tip hole densities. Technology, process review and results described.
