Advanced Filter Media Structures Using Biax Spunblown Fiber Technology

Abstract: Spunblown Technology is a unique practice of meltblowing technology developed by Biax Fiberfilm. You could say it is a hybrid process bridging the gap between the conventional meltblowing and spunbonding processes. Spunblowing process has a multi-row spinnerette similar to the spunbonding technology but the filaments are attenuated at the nozzles tip using high speed hot/cold air. In this revealing presentation, there will be a comparison between spunmelt technologies demonstrating the capabilities of each one. You will also see how the fiber sizes and their distribution can affect filtration properties. Hybrid structures of meltblown fibers using in-situ commingling process will be demonstrated and their effect on filtration performance will be discussed.
