Abstract: A tailored multilayered nano-fibrous filtration media having at least two adjacent layers of nano-fibrous media and a method for making is presently disclosed. The method comprises selecting an overall mean flow pore size for tailoring the multilayered nano-fibrous filtration media, choosing a first layers of nano-fibrous media, calculating an overall mean flow pore size (OMFP) of the tailored multilayered nano-fibrous filtration media, determining if the calculated OMFP is approximately equal to the selected OMFP, if not approximately equal then choosing a different number of layers chosen or choosing at least one layer having a porosity or mean flow pore size different than the previously chosen layer of nano-fibrous media, and adjacently layering each finally chosen layer of nano-fibrous media.

Abstract: A fluid filter material configured to have a desirable efficiency at a low pressure drop is presently disclosed. The fluid filter material has a relatively open pleatable scrim comprised of a wet-laid or dry-laid material with natural and synthetic fibers. A layer of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene filaments have a first surface bonded with the pleatable scrim and the fluid filter material is pleatable and self-supporting. The natural fibers in the scrim may comprise cellulosic fibers, cotton, rayon, or other natural fibrous materials. The scrim may also comprise synthetic fibers.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is filtration material having expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) and method of making. The method comprises expanding polytetrafluoroethylene in a machine direction orienter (MDO) and expanding or stretching to a ratio from about 20:1 up to about 100:1. The sheet of polytetrafluoroethylene is then relaxed. Upon relaxing the sheet of polytetrafluoroethylene, the sheet of polytetrafluoroethylene is fed into a transverse direction orienter (TDO). The temperature of the sheet of polytetrafluoroethylene in TDO is maintained to remain below 200° C. The sheet of polytetrafluoroethylene is then expanded or stretched to a ratio from about 1.5:1 up to about 100:1, with the TDO, thus providing the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene of the present disclosure having increased tensile strength and finer filaments.
