Midwest Filtration to Show New Filter Media

Unipoly PSB is a new point-bonded, spunmelt polyester

Many customers call Midwest Filtration the drug store of nonwovens. At its booth, visitors will find many types of nonwovens in one place. These are stocked at its Cincinnati warehouse in mill rolls and are ready to be converted by one of 12 re-rolling and slitting machines in rolls ranging in width from one to 150 inches in a short turn time. In addition, die-cutting machines can cut them into many shapes and sizes. Midwest Filtration’s highly experienced seamers can sew and heat-seal them into tubes, bags and sleeves.

At its booth this year, Midwest Filtration is featuring a new nonwoven filter media called Unipoly PSB. It is a new point-bonded, spunmelt polyester available in basis weights ranging from 17-140 gsm. Its distinctive low denier fibers create excellent uniformity. The unique manufacturing process creates greater strength properties (Tensile and Mullen) than similar spunmelt polyesters. As a result, many applications can consider using lower basis weights to achieve the same or better results.
