The present disclosure relates to an air purification filter including a substrate, and an enzyme and glycine supported on the substrate, wherein the enzyme includes at least one enzyme selected from the group consisting of β-1,3-glucanase, chitinase, lysozyme, protease, glycosidase, β-galactosidase, endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase and endolysine.

A fibrous media suitable for an oil filter comprising a fibrous web formed from synthetic fibers; optionally at least one additive, and a thermoset binder present at a concentration of at least 15 wt.-% by weight of the fibrous web and/or at least one binder fiber, wherein the synthetic fibers comprise up to 30 wt.-%, preferably up to 20 wt.-%, glass fibers, based on the total weight of the fibers. The fibers are bonded with the thermoset binder and/or the at least one binder fiber to form a web; and the fibrous media is capable of forming a self-supporting, pleated oil filter media which is capable of retaining pleats upon contact with oil having a temperature in the range encountered in a combustion engine.

Articles and methods involving filter media are generally provided. In certain embodiments, the filter media includes at least a first layer, a second layer, and an adhesive resin positioned between the first layer and the second layer. In some embodiments, the first layer may be a pre-filter layer or a support layer. The second layer may, for example, comprise fibers formed by a solution spinning process and/or may comprise fine fibers. In some embodiments, the adhesive resin may be present in a relatively low amount and/or may have a low glass transition temperature. The filter media as a whole may have one or more advantageous properties, including one or more of a high stiffness, a high bond strength between the first layer and the second layer, a high gamma, and/or a low increase in air resistance after being subjected to an IPA vapor discharge. The filter media may be, for example, a HEPA filter and/or an ULPA filter.

According to one aspect of the invention, a coalescer cartridge for separating a first fluid from a second fluid includes a pleated filter media portion including a pleated fluid separation layer configured to separate a first fluid from a second fluid, the first fluid forming relatively small droplets of fluid suspended in the second fluid; and a wrap filter media portion downstream of the pleated media portion including a droplet growth layer configured to coalesce the relatively small droplets of the first fluid into relatively larger droplets of the first fluid.

The present invention relates to a filter medium being at least formed of a pre-filter sub-strate laminated with a fine-filter substrate by means of a third binder, wherein the pre-filter substrate comprises synthetic fibers and a first binder, the pre-filter substrate work-ing as a combined surface and depth filter, and the fine-filter substrate comprises at least a second binder and one of synthetic fibers and inorganic fibers.

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.

In the description and drawings a fiberglass product is disclosed. The fiberglass product may have one or more fiber curl layers. The fiber curl layers may have a plurality of generally sinusoidal fiber bundles therein.

Solid phase extraction (SPE) disks are manufactured by introducing a series of components and/or liquid suspensions into a mold and evacuating the liquid to form a cohesive filter or SPE disk. After all the free liquid has been substantially removed, the SPE disk is removed from the mold and dried. SPE disks are for use in analytical chemistry procedures.

A method of making a board or mat, includes forming a liquid slurry with solids including inorganic fibers and cellulose fibers, forming a web from the slurry on at least one foraminous element, extracting water from the web, and drying the web to make a product, wherein the pH of the liquid slurry including the inorganic fibers and cellulose fibers is in the pH range of 2-6 and wherein the cellulose fibers have a Schopper-Riegler index of ≥50 according to ISO 5267.

The present invention is generally related to a high capacity, high efficiency nonwoven filtration media comprising a gradient pore structure. In particular, the filtration media can comprise thermoplastic synthetic microfibers, fibrillated fibers, staple fibers, and a binder. Furthermore, the filtration media may be produced without the use of glass fibers or microglass fibers. A process for making the filtration media is also provided. Consequently, the filtration media of the present invention does not cause the same issues as conventional filtration media that comprises glass fibers and/or microglass fibers. Moreover, the filtration media can be used to treat fuel, lubrication fluids, hydraulic fluids, and various other industrial gases.
