Lydall, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary Lydall Performance Materials, announced that it is expanding its portfolio with the introduction of new, innovative, LydAir GP gas phase filter media.  Layered in pleatable substrates, LydAir GP media consists of highly uniform, highly efficient, specialty sorbent particles that aid in the adsorption of acid and base contaminants as well as other volatile organic compounds. 

Lydall’s flexible process creates multiple opportunities for technically advanced composite development with LydAir GP filter media and Lydall’s core particulate filtration media. Particulate layers can range from MERV 8/G4 to HEPA and can be laminated with a variety of Lydall adsorption layers to allow for removal of multiple airborne molecular and particulate contaminants in one medium. 

Paul A. Marold, president, Lydall Performance Materials, comments, “We are extremely excited about yet another transformational move by our business. Our entry into gas phase filtration supports our strategy of continuing to invest and grow in the filtration space and adjacencies with high-quality, high-performing products that are valued by our customers.” 

Filter manufacturers worldwide will benefit from Lydall’s wide range of gas phase options in both design and functionality, which is unmatched in the industry today, the company says. Plus, Lydall can deliver the engineered composite materials in roll good form or in pleated panels – saving customers time and money. 

Chris Sipes, director, Business Development, comments, “Our multi-layer combination medias offer innovative solutions to complex problems. Through Lydall’s expert composite engineering and the exceptional performance of new LydAir GP media, we look forward to serving the needs of filtration specialists around the globe in the removal of airborne molecular contaminants.” 

LydAir GP media is perfectly suited for applications such as office buildings, airports, restaurants, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, automotive cabin air or any environment where airborne molecular contaminants are a concern.
