Johns Manville introduces SpunFil™, the high performance carrier for the reinforcement of activated-carbon filters  The SpunFil™ 688 product family has been developed for special usage in automotive and HVAC filtration systems as carrier of activated carbon medias. It features a sophisticated coarse filament design that offers excellent properties for carrying carbon particles and reliably maintains consistent filtration performance.
With a smooth calendered surface at 70-80 g/sqm, SpunFil™ 688 has superior tensile strength and outstanding stiffness for pleating processes. The open structure of the material prevents carbon particles from migration and allows superior air flow at the same time.
 Christian Hassmann, Business Manager Filtration Europe said, "Our new SpunFil™ technology takes polyester spunbond filtration to a whole new level. We are extremely pleased to offer another high performance product with unique advantages to our customers."
