  • Publication number: 20070039300
    Abstract: Thermoplastic bicomponent binder fiber can be combined with other media, fibers and other filtration components to form a thermally bonded filtration media. The filtration media can be used in filter units. Such filter units can be placed in the stream of a mobile fluid and can remove a particulate load from the mobile stream. The unique combination of media fiber, bicomponent binder fiber and other filtration additives and components provide a filtration media having unique properties in filtration applications.

  • Patent number: 5972063
    Abstract: Constructions and methods are described for collecting particulate material from gas streams. In certain specifically described air filter arrangements, a first, rigid, filter construction is used in conjunction with a removable and replaceable depth media filter, to form filter media. The preferred arrangement is configured so that the removable and replaceable depth media filter can be removed and replaced, without disengaging the first filter construction from a filter assembly or housing, if desired. Some preferred configurations and materials are described.
