Specialized Filter Media
Albarrie created Affinity™ specialized media to fit the needs of various specialty applications. They have been optimized over many years of use and feedback from industry successes. This series of innovative filter media were designed to improve properties such as filtration efficiency, cleanability, and conductivity.
Duo-Density filter media utilizes advanced fiber blending technology to combine multiple fiber sizes into the matrix of the filter media.
The blended fiber matrix increases the filtration surface area of the media and reduces pore sizes to increase filtration efficiency across a wide range of particle sizes while maintaining efficient air flows.
Available in self supported and scrim supported designs with polyester, PPS, and polyimide (P84®) fibers in weights ranging from 10 to 16 oz/yd2.
FEATURES
- Blended fiber matrix
- Reduced pore size
- Increased filtration efficiency
High efficiency micro-cap filter media incorporates a layer of micro- denier fiber on the top side of the filter media.
The micro-denier top layer features smaller pore size and increased filtration surface area for enhanced surface filtering capabilities and dust cake formation while retaining efficient airflows, good flexibility, and abrasion resistance.
Available in self-supported and scrim supported designs with polyester, PPS and polyimide (P84®) fibers in weights ranging from 10 to 16 oz/yd².
FEATURES
- Microfiber top layer
- Fine particle filtration
- Increased filtration efficiency
A highly efficient anti-static filter media constructed with an integrated layer of woven stainless-steel fibers to provide uniform conductivity.
For use in applications prone to the build-up of static charge, this conductive fabric safely dissipates electrostatic charges safely when properly grounded to minimize the risk of explosion and/or dust retention on the media due to static charges.
Available with polyester fibers in weights ranging from 14 to 16 oz/yd².
FEATURES
- Anti-static properties
- Stainless steel scrim
- Uniform conductivity
- Enhanced cleanability
