Neenah Filtration will exhibit its media offerings FiltXPO 2022. Product ranges include NeenahPure air filter media for HVAC and air purification' Craneglass for evaporative cooling applications, Gessner for industrial air & liquid solutions; Gessner for automotive & transportation filtration and Cranemat for membrane casting substrates.
In August 2021, Neenah Filtration launched a new filter media which incorporates its patented asymmetric saturation technology and combines the benefits of curing and non-curing resins in one single medium for filter manufacturers. The two-sided media provides different characteristics which unlocks advantages for its products and converters in a brand-new way.
When processing filter media in the automotive sector, it is important to ensure a certain rigidity of the material for an optimal and fast processing. At the same time, the material should be designed in such a way that pleat lines and dimples created during the pleating process are reliable without damaging the media. Its saturation technique gives Neenah Filtration the ability to provide this robustness without jeopardizing the medium’s pleat ability.
Another key function of this “asymmetric saturation” or ability to combine different resin systems on one media is that it allows it to tailor-make its media to meet individual customer needs.
In other news, last month parent company Neenah, Inc., announced a €25 million investment in new meltblown capacity in its German filtration facility.
Neenah is committed to accelerating growth in life science and industrial filtration markets. Its portfolio of meltblown products promotes higher filtration efficacy and lower energy usage, which its customers value. Neenah's electrostatically charged NeenahPure media solutions support HVAC, air pollution control, and air purification systems, delivering market leading efficiencies >99.9%.
"Clean air and water are critical to our communities and environment. Meltblown technology effectively removes harmful particles from the air we breathe and the water we drink. This new meltblown line intensifies our innovation efforts and allows us to continue to grow with our customers," says president and CEO Julie Schertell.
While this investment provides an opportunity for new growth, it also supports the needs of its existing customers. The new meltblown line is expected to be online in mid-2024.
