TRIBOELECTRIC, NEEDLEPUNCH NONWOVEN

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. Furthermore, their efficiency does not degrade over time like other types of filters can. Electrostatic filter media also provides healthier indoor air quality 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. 

GESSNER'S TRIBOELECTRIC MEDIA Alphastar™


Our Alphastar™ Electrostatic Media boasts performance characteristics currently unmatched in the filtration market. Its proprietary fiber blend is carded and needled into a fully homogenous material, making it an ideal electrostatic media for air filtration. Triboelectric media produces higher efficiency with lower resistance when compared to similar products. This unique electrostatic filter media is designed to capture and maintain particles through electrostatic action which acts like a magnet.

Alphastar can be combined with various layers of material for desired product enhancement. This unique nonwoven is ideally suited for air filtration applications. It exhibits high dust loading capacity with low pressure drop for vacuum cleaner pre and post motor filters, cabin air filters, CPAP units, Breathing circuitry and HVAC furnace and industrial filters. 

Air filters are vital components in keeping a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) unit running safely, without introducing pathogens into the airway and medical facemasks in general. We also offer a variety of highly efficient meltblown media, made of many different polymers (PP, PBT, PA).
