Publication number: 20210129060Abstract: A filter medium (1) includes a substrate layer (2) and a nanofiber layer (3), the nanofiber layer (3) being connected to the substrate layer (2) by adhesive and/or hot-melt adhesive fibers (4) which pass through the nanofiber layer. In the sequence of layers, the nanofiber layer (3) is located between the substrate layer (2) and the adhesive and/or hot-melt adhesive fibers (4). An adhesion promoter layer (6) is present between the nanofiber layer (3) and the substrate layer (2), which adhesion promoter layer comprises an adhesion promoting agent applied over the surface of the substrate layer (2), the nanofiber layer (3) being fixed to the substrate layer (2) by means of the adhesion promoter layer (6). A method for producing the filter medium (1) and a use of the filter medium (1) are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2020Publication date: May 6, 2021Inventors: Christian Zisslsberger, Christoph Krautner, Jens Neumann, Matthias Heinzmann, Martin Klein, Maximilian Bauch
