Promoting aspire ePTFE die cut sheets
Clarcor Industrial Air (Booth 412) is showcasing its aspire ePTFE die cut sheets. Designed for high purity applications, the sheets are ideal for gas and liquid microfiltration across a broad range of applications. The product collection includes two products idea for automotive applications and five food contact grade products.
Naturally hydrophobic, the ePTFE membrane sheets are manufactured with pure ePTFE and laminated onto nonwoven polypropylene or polyester, or nylon woven backers. This combination provides strength and high chemical compatibility to keep liquids and particulate contaminates out of sensitive devices as well as relieve pressure build-up associated with changing temperatures and environmental conditions.
In other news, Clarcor completed the acquisition of FibeRio in the second quarter of this year. FibeRio is a technology company focused on the research, development and commercialization of advanced filtration media and performance fabrics.
When releasing Clarcor’s third quarter results, Chris Conway, Clarcor’s chairman, president and CEO, said of the purchase: “Through this acquisition, we acquired proprietary technology which we believe will enable us to develop nanofiber and other media solutions with superior filtration capabilities at lower production costs than traditional media. We expect this technology will support various growth initiatives including our development efforts for the next-generation air inlet filtration system for the GE H-class gas turbine platform. As a result of our entering into the deal with GE, we have expedited various FibeRio development and transition activities, and we expect to accelerate certain costs in 2016 as a result. We believe the FibeRio acquisition further enhances our progress in becoming a premier innovative filtration solution provider to customers across our many diverse filtration end-markets.”
