Making its Filtration Show debut at booth 224 is Turkish roll goods producer General Nonwovens, a company that has recently expanded its involvement in the filtration sector. General Nonwovens reports increased interest in replacing paper-like cellulose medias with nonwovens. The company’s products are 100% synthetic, consisting of either polyethylene terephthalate or polypropylene. General Nonwovens’ FilterGen range includes lightweight and heavyweight polyester filter media.

At the exhibit, the company is promoting FilterGen lightweight polyester spunbond media, which is used as a reinforcement or coverstock layer for air and water filtration. The composite structures are used both with and without pleating. The pleatable medium weight ranges are used as coverstock media in a composite structure while the heavier weight fabrics are also pleatable and generally target air filtration.

Under the FilterGen brand General Nonwovens can produce nonwovens and composite filter medias for the following filtration end uses: gas tribune filters, pleated panel filters, automotive cabin air filters, filter media for spas, oil and liquid filters, casting substrate for liquid filtration, support media for pleated filter cartridges using membranes, hydraulic oil filters, cartridges for heating and ventilating filters, technical and analytical filters, coolant and lubrication filters and dust collection filters.
