[nanoPost] Fine dust filtration for a large number of filter media

Company Germany

• The product refines filter media by means of an electric storage layer so that they are statically charged permanently.
• Filtration per-formance is improved significantly and conventional systems can be con¬verted into high-performance filters easily and economically.
• The product both delivers a high and reliable filtration performance and leaves the air per¬meability of the filter media unchanged.
• Individual fil-ter fibres are covered in a layer of less than 100 nanometres.
• The poten-tial application areas range from industrial use and building and automotive filters to household fil-tration systems.
• In air filtration the degree of particle separation by the filter medium is the key factor, especially where fine dust is concerned. Improving filter performance by means of a permanent electrostatic charge poses a constant challenge for the fil-ter industry with the steady increase in demands that are made on it, especially in respect of fine dust, and is therefore of immense importance.
• The product improves conventional filter media by actively attracting and retaining fine dust particles with its static charge while leaving the fibre density of the filter medium unchanged.
• A 'normal' filter medium is thereby converted into a filtration system that reaches a new performance level without requiring any change in the design of the filter medium.
• The product can be integrated into existing production processes very easily and economically. In future, clean room filters in industry or passenger compartment filters in, say, cars could be improved significantly.
