Johns Manville introduces CombiFil® Nano - Advanced Composite Technology for Air Filtration  This world-class composite has been developed to exceed the established standards in industrial air filtration. The innovative, superfine nano structure allows a highly sophisticated balance between superior particle retention and outstanding air permeability, thus creating a milestone in air filtration performance. The superb filtration performance of CombiFil® Nano is characterized by high initial filtration efficiency compared to standard products. Furthermore, CombiFil® Nano sets the standard with its high tensile strength and a three-dimensional structured surface delivering a stiff, stable and pleatable air filtration media. Moreover, CombiFil® Nano is thermal and humidity resistant. The product consists of 150g/sqm polyester spunbond and less than 1g/sqm nano fibers.
 To develop this high performance filtration product, Johns Manville partnered with the FiberMark Gessner company from Bruckmühl, Germany. This partnership allows the combination of state-of-the-art spunbond and nano fiber technologies that together provide high performance filtration solutions.
Christian Hassmann, business manager-Filtration explains, "The new world-class CombiFil® Nano enables Johns Manville to take another step forward as an industry leader. Due to its outstanding pleatability during processing, excellent cleanability and low pressure drop, our customers benefit from a long product lifetime, low energy costs as well as from low overall process costs."
CombiFil® Nano is the ideal filtration media for industrial cleanable dust collectors. Applications include process air, power stations, production areas, powder systems, and shot blasting systems.
