Abstract: Fibrous filtration media for hot oil filtration includes a nonwoven fibrous web containing synthetic fibers and at least about 15 wt. %, based on total weight of the fibrous web, of a binder component selected from thermoset binder resins and/or binder fibers. The synthetic fibers of the fibrous web will contain from about 2 wt. % to about 65 wt. %, for example between about 10 wt. % to about 50 wt. %, based on total weight of fibers in the fibrous web, of thermoplastic synthetic microfibers having an average diameter of less than 5 ?l?l. The synthetic fibers are bonded together with the binder component to form the fibrous web which is capable of forming a self-supporting, pleated oil filter media which retains pleats upon contact with oil having a temperature in a range encountered in an internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A filtration media with improved filtration, strength, tear resistance and air permeability in the form of a relatively thin and lightweight wet-laid fibrous web that has a wet Mullen ratio of 60% to 80% to ensure that the media is flexible enough to be formed into a fluted structure, and strong enough to retain the fluted structure when wound into a roll and to permit further processing without the media becoming too brittle. The filtration media comprises a blend of cellulose and synthetic fibers having a weight percent of 81 wt % to 87 wt % of a weight of the media and a resin binder having a weight of 13 wt % to 19 wt % (preferably about 16 wt %) of the weight of the media.

Abstract: A filter medium comprising a first conductive fibrous substrate, a second conductive fibrous substrate spaced apart from the first conductive substrate and a third insulation substrate fitted between the first and the second substrates for electrically separating the first conductive substrate from the second conductive substrate. The first conductive fibrous substrate comprises a first layer with first fibers having a first average diameter; a second layer with second fibers having a second average diameter; and a third layer with third fibers having a third average diameter. The second layer comprises activated carbon in an amount sufficient to render the first fibrous substrate conductive. The present medium can be used in electrified filters for cabin air filtration for passenger cars and other vehicles. It can also be used for HVAC filtration for indoor air, and in portable air purification units and even in vacuum cleaners.
