Triboelectric filter media use electrostatic energy to capture and remove particles from the air. This type of media is made from synthetic fibers that are charged with electricity, which attracts and traps microscopic particles such as dust, smoke, pollen, and pet dander. The electric charge also helps keep these pollutants in the filter until it needs to be replaced. Compared to traditional non-electrostatic filters, electrostatic filters can capture a greater variety of pollutants more efficiently and with less energy consumption.
Our electrostatic nonwoven material Alphastar™ delivers higher efficiency and lower resistance compared to similar products on the market because it works like a magnet, capturing and retaining particles through electrostatic action, ensuring superior air purity.
Crafted from a proprietary blend of fibers, which are carded and needled into a fully homogenous material our material creates an exceptional electrostatic media, designed specifically for air filtration. The efficiency of our tribo-electric material does not degrade over time like other types of filters can. which ensures that a healthier indoor air quality is provided since it captures even micron-sized particles that are too small for regular filters to remove. Additionally, they are often treated with an anti-bacterial coating that helps reduce allergens and bacteria in the air.
Alphastar™ offers an exeptional flexibility, as it can be combined with various layers of material for desired product enhancements. Its high dust loading capacity and low pressure drop make it an ideal choice for a range of applications, including pre and post motor filters for vacuum cleaners, cabin air filters, artificial respiratory devices like continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) units, breathing circuitry, HVAC furnace, and industrial filters.
To further enhance filtration efficiency, we also offer a range of meltblown media, made from various polymers such as Polypropylene (PP), Polyester (PBT), and Polyamide (PA). Different coatings and impregnagtions enhance our tribo-electric nonwoven with additional properties.
Historically, our Alphastar™ electrostatic nonwoven were supplied by corporations such as SWM International and DelStar Technologies. However, following the 2022 merger of SWM & Neenah to become Mativ, these materials have now become products under the GESSNER umbrella, a brand of Mativ.
We now offer our Alphastar™ tribo-electric nonwoven and our NeenahPure™ meltblown nonwoven with an activated carbon layer for pleatable and bag filters. These high-efficiency, electrostatic filter media can be developed meeting your individual…
