Abstract: Disclosed here is a composite filter media having at least one nanofiber layer bonded to a substrate layer, the at least one nanofiber layer optionally having a plurality of nanofibers having a geometric mean diameter of less than or equal to 0.5 ?m, the at least one nanofiber layer having a thickness of about 1-100 ?m.

Abstract: A face mask includes an aroma layer. The aroma layer includes one or more melt-blown layers or one or more scrim layers. The aroma layer includes a plurality of fibers with an aroma integrated therewith. The aroma layer includes an aroma layer outer side and an aroma layer inner side. The face mask includes an outer scrim layer and an inner scrim layer. The outer scrim layer is positioned adjacent the aroma layer outer side. The inner scrim layer is positioned adjacent the aroma layer inner side.

Abstract: A filter media comprises a first fiber layer and a second fiber layer positioned downstream of the first fiber layer. The first fiber layer has a first geometric mean fiber diameter of less than 1 pm such that the geometric standard deviation of fiber diameter is greater than 2. The second fiber layer has a second geometric mean fiber diameter of less than 1 pm such that the geometric standard deviation of fiber diameter is less than 2.

Abstract: Disclosed is a composite filter media. The composite filter media is formed from multiple layers of media material including a nanofiber media layer, where the layers are laminated, bound, or otherwise composited to each other. The composite filter media can comprise at least one nanofiber layer comprising polymeric media material having a geometric mean fiber diameter of about 100 nm to 1 ?m, and fibers configured in a gradient such that ratio of the geometric mean diameter of fibers at the upstream face of the nano fiber layer to the geometric mean diameter of fibers at the downstream face of the nano fiber layer is about 1.1 to 2.8, preferably about 1.2 to 2.4.

Abstract: Cleanable filters and methods of cleaning filters are described in the present application. The cleanable air filter includes a housing and a filter element installed in the housing. The filter element is configured to filter an operating fluid in a given application. The filter element is cleanable in-situ in the installed condition in the housing. The cleanable air filter further includes a cleaning fluid applicator configured to apply a cleaning fluid to the filter element while the filter element is in the installed condition in the housing such that the filter element is cleanable without being removed from the filter housing.
