Abstract: High efficiency and high capacity glass-free filtration media include a blend of synthetic non-fibrillated staple fibers and fibrillated cellulosic staple fibers, wherein the fibrillated cellulosic fibers are present in the media in an amount to achieve a multipass dust holding capacity of 10 mg/in2 and greater, and a multipass filtration efficiency at 1.5 microns of greater than 50%. The filtration media is made by forming a wet laid sheet from a fibrous slurry blend of the synthetic non-fibrillated staple fibers and fibrillated cellulosic staple fibers, followed by drying the sheet to obtain the filtration media. Optionally, the filtration media may be provided with a resin binder and may be grooved and/or pleated.

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: The present invention relates to a filter medium comprising a substrate and a fine fiber layer on top of the substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a first layer comprising first fibers having a first average diameter and a first maximum fiber length; a second layer comprising second fibers having a second average diameter and a second maximum fiber length; and a third layer comprising third fibers having a third average diameter and a third maximum fiber length; wherein the boundary area between the first and the second layer forms a first blended area comprising first and second fibers; and the boundary area between the second and the third layer forms a second blended area comprising second and third fibers; and wherein the first and the third average diameters are each larger than the second average diameter.

Abstract: Invention relates to a multilayer article comprising successively: a non-woven layer of fibers (3) comprising at least 50% by weight of at least one biodegradable polymer melting point of which is below 220° C.; a layer of food-safe adhesive (2); a cellulose-fiber based support (1).

Abstract: A dye-capturing laundry aid comprising: a support in the form of a sheet comprising water-insoluble fibers; a first substance anchored to the support, wherein the first substance has moieties that are cationic when exposed to water at one or more pH values in the pH range of from 6 to 10; and a second substance that coats the first substance, wherein the second substance is a polymer that remains substantially coated upon the first substance when the laundry aid is exposed to water over the pH range of from 6 to 10, and at least 50% of the repeating units in the polymer have a structure according to the following Formula (1).
