Learn moreAdvanced nonwoven solutions: Enhancing filtration efficiency with VINNAPAS® and VINNOL® dispersions
Nonwoven materials are exceptionally suited for the filtration industry due to their ability to be precisely engineered to achieve specific porosity and flow rate requirements tailored to diverse filtering applications. Key to enhancing the performance of these nonwovens are VINNAPAS® and VINNOL® dispersions, which serve as critical binders in the production of filter media. VINNAPAS® VAE dispersions, whether applied through spraying, foaming, or impregnation techniques, offer superior fiber bonding capabilities, making them ideal for use in technologically advanced paper and engineered fabric media. Additionally, nonwovens treated with VINNOL® ethylene-vinyl chloride copolymer dispersions benefit from enhanced heat sealing and high-frequency welding properties, further broadening their applicability and efficiency in filtration solutions. This combination of tailored engineering and advanced binding technologies positions nonwovens as a versatile and effective choice for meeting the complex demands of the filtration market.
