Foam Filter Materials and Filter Technologies

Overview

Engineered high-performance, flexible polyurethane foams meet many design criteria for a variety of filtration functions. These include removing dust and contaminating particles from air, gases, and liquids (filtration); collecting vaporized oils from industrial equipment (de-misting); acting as an evaporative surface (humidification), and cleaning up oil spills (oil/water separation).

TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS

Foam filter materials and filter technologies are used in air filters for small engines, air conditioners, data processing equipment, electronic air cleaners, humidifiers, furnaces, condenser coils, refrigerators, cold drink dispensers, and other appliances where moving air is required either by force or convection.

FUNCTIONS OF FILTRATION FOAM

• Removing dust and contaminating particles from air, gases, and liquids (filtration)

• Collecting vaporized oils from industrial equipment (de-misting)

• Acting as an evaporative surface (humidification)

• Cleaning up oil spills (oil/water separation)

FOAM FILTER MATERIALS

Reticulated foam is an ideal filtration foam. Its dense, porous structure allows air and fluids to pass through and traps particles.
