The present invention relates to the field of air filtration, in particular to a polytetrafluoroethylene composite filter material and a preparation method and uses thereof. The polytetrafluoroethylene composite filter material comprises a support layer and a polytetrafluoroethylene microporous membrane layer, and the support layer and the polytetrafluoroethylene microporous membrane layer are compounded by an adhesive, wherein the adhesive comprises a two-component polyurethane adhesive, a pore forming agent and an inorganic filler. The present invention adopts a two-component solvent-free polyurethane adhesive, and by adding a low-temperature pore forming agent and an inorganic filler, the pore forming agent forms an irregular pore channel structure at the bonding interface during curing, and the inorganic filler prevents the adhesive from entering the micropores of the polytetrafluoroethylene membrane, so that the air permeability and filtration efficiency of the polytetrafluoroethylene microporous membrane are not affected after compounding; and the prepared polytetrafluoroethylene composite filter material has good air permeability, high peel strength, good filtration efficiency and good barrier effect.

Embodiments disclosed herein include a stitched filtering fabric including a barrier layer configured to inhibit air flow through the filtering fabric, a yarn stitched through and forming a plurality of stitch holes in the barrier layer, and a first yarn layer comprising interlocking loops of the yarn. The barrier layer is configured to direct air flow through the yarn within the stitched holes.

The invention discloses a fiber filament non-woven fabric with a small pore size and a large porosity, which adopts an island type ultra-fine fiber single filament, which is juxtaposed into an unidirectional silk layer several times, and a thin strip-shaped liquid is applied laterally on the unidirectional silk layer. The resin adhesive liquid bonds and fixes all the silk layers into a unidirectional non-woven fabric fixed in a grid segment. The unidirectional non-woven fabric is covered with meltblown non-woven fabric on one or both sides to make a filter material that can 100% filter viruses, bacteria, and micro-particles smaller than PM2.5. It can also be used for a wider range of filter materials, thermal insulation materials, oil absorption materials, battery separator materials, medical and health materials, environmental protection materials, clothing materials, wiping materials.

Filter media, filter elements, and methods for filtering an gas stream are described herein. In some embodiments, the filter media may comprise a fiber web comprising a plurality of fibers and having a particular oil repellency level. For instance, in certain embodiments, the surface chemistry of the fiber web may be tailored to impart a particular surface energy density that matches the surface energy density of the fluid (e.g., an oil, a lubricant, and/or a cooling agent) being removed from the gas stream. In some embodiments, the fiber web may be wrapped around a core. For example, the fiber web may be wrapped around the core such that it forms two or more layers around the core. In some cases, the fiber web may be perforated. In certain embodiments, an gas stream comprising a fluid (e.g., an oil, a lubricant, and/or a cooling agent) may be passed through the fiber web, filter media, and/or filter element such that at least a portion of the fluid coalesces on the fiber web. Fiber webs, filter media, and/or filter elements as described herein may be particularly well-suited for applications that involve filtering gas streams containing oil, lubricants, and/or cooling agents (e.g., gas streams generated by a compressor) though the media may also be used in other applications. Advantageously, the fiber webs, filter media, and/or filter elements described herein may significantly reduce or prevent fouling of the filter caused by oil or other liquids.

An integral canister filter having multiple layers, including a prefiltration layer. The prefiltration layer may filter oil and/or water from an airflow to protect downstream components. The prefiltration layer may be treated with a water and/or oil repelling or absorbing material. The second layer may be a porous membrane filter positioned downstream of the prefiltration layer. The third layer may provide structural support for the first and/or second layers.

Provided is a filter material for an automatic transmission oil filter that has excellent filtration performance and that can trap even dust having a small particle size. The filter material comprises an entangled nonwoven fabric in which fine fibers generated from dividable composite fibers are entangled with each other.
