FILTER MEDIA FOR LIFE SCIENCE

Air Filters are vital components in keeping a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) unit in artificial respiratory systems running safely and without introducing pathogens into the airway and medical facemasks in general.

We offer a variety of highly efficient meltblown media, available in different polymers (PP, PBT, PA) options, available colored or as natural meltblown nonwoven. We design our meltblown grades to obtain BFE ratings of 99%+ whilst maintaining a low resistance to aid with breathability.  GESSNER's electrostatic coarse fibered filter media, Alphastar™, has similar efficiencies to our meltblown but has a 10X lower resistance due to the electrostatic effect and coarse fibers.

Our advanced filter medias made of cellulose are meticulously engineered for integration with widely-utilized respiratory treatment devices. They significantly limit the dispersion of infectious agents from patients to the surrounding atmosphere, thereby affording additional protection to medical professionals and other patients alike. Crafted from premium-quality cellulose our filter medias excel in moisture retention, ensuring a fine balance of wet and dry pressure drop while enhancing humidity capacity. The adaptability of our filter media allows for further modifications such as slitting, corrugating, and pleating, making them perfectly suited for hygroscopic condenser humidifiers (HCH) and HME applications.

Our filter medias are designed with versatility at the forefront, ensuring they can be effectively utilized across a wide array of clinical settings and patient scenarios: In the high-pressure environment of operating rooms and intensive care units, our filter medias play an indispensable role. They work seamlessly with complex medical equipment to safeguard patient health, ensuring that the air patients breathe is free from harmful bacteria and viruses. During procedures involving general anesthesia, our filter medias provide an added layer of protection.

Our electrostatically charged meltblown media sets a new benchmark in filtration efficiency, with the capability to reach efficiencies of up to 99.95%. Our comprehensive portfolio encompasses a wide range from FFP1 to FFP3, adhering to EN149 standards, and we also fulfill NIOSH 95 and 99 requirements.

One of our key strengths lies in our highly flexible media composition. We're committed to offering the best solution tailored to your process, whether you're seeking pleatable or non-pleatable media.

Our NeenahGuard™ & Delpore™ media stand out for their excellent breathability, making them an ideal choice for medical applications. While a single layer of our Meltblown media is sufficient to achieve high filtration efficiency, we also provide options for a composite with spunbond. This adaptability allows us to cater to diverse filtration needs while maintaining top-tier performance.

Meltblown Nonwoven's microscopic fibers form a complex fabric that can effectively trap even the smallest particles. Thanks to this structure, it offers an exceptional balance between filtration efficiency and air permeability, making it an ideal media for a wide range of applications - from air and water filtration to use in medical masks. Its ability to achieve high levels of filtration with low pressure drop makes meltblown nonwoven a premium choice for advanced filtration solutions.

Our Alphastar™ - tribo-electric nonwoven enhances air purification by using electrostatic energy to attract and trap airborne particles such as dust, smoke, pollen, and pet dander. These synthetic fibers are electrically charged, increasing the efficiency of pollutant capture with lower energy consumption compared to traditional non-electrostatic filters. Unlike other filters, its effectiveness remains consistent over time, also contributing to healthier indoor air quality by removing micron-sized particles and reducing airborne allergens and bacteria through an anti-bacterial coating.

Delpore™ thermal-bonded media utilizes a novel through-air bonding process where hot air melts the outer layers of Bicomponent fibers, creating a strong, reliable bond. This creates a material that surpasses traditional webbing in strength, durability, flexibility, and breathability. Its lightweight, cost-effective nature, combined with superior performance characteristics, makes it an ideal choice for various applications, including filtration media, acoustic insulation, and automotive interiors.

Our inclined and flat wire paper machines provide exceptional performance when it comes to producing technical special papers. With these machines, we can achieve weights of 18 – 250g/m² and air permeabilities of 1 – 2000 l/m²/s. This ensures that you have the perfect product for your needs every single time. Alongside selected cellulose fibres, we use synthetic, glass or carbon fibres to give further special properties. With creping technology, we can achieve different surface characteristics, from very fine to very rough crepe profiles, and with various stretch properties.
