Fibertex Nonwovens (Booth 908), a nonwovens manufacturer with sites in the U.S., Denmark, France, Czech Republic, Turkey and South Africa, is highlighting its new unique range of 100% synthetic pleatable filter media Pleatex, which sets the new standard for pleated filter products.

These media are a unique building platform for all filter manufacturers within both air and liquid filtration. Customized weight, air permeability and surface treatments are available on demand.

Pleatex is a synthetic inherent pleatable filter media, which has pleating behavior similar to cellulose and glass fiber media, like no other synthetic media. Pleatex can be processed on all kinds of different pleaters such as rotary pleaters, knife and blade pleaters. Production runs show that Pleatex undertakes faster pleating compared to other synthetic media when pleated on a rotary pleater.

Embossed pleat packs are possible to ensure lower pressure drop and better dust distribution. Pleatex is stiff and rigid enough to maintain in shape also when pulsed.

Besides its new Pleatex product range, Fibertex Nonwovens also produces a full range of different air and liquid filter media based on needlepunch, spunlace, spunbond and highloft production technologies.
