For HVAC applications, JM provides its micro glass air media with 100% biosoluble glass fibres that are harmless to health, according to the manufacturer. The natural structure of the filter media allows a low pressure drop combined with a very high dust holding capacity. Furthermore, it is said to enable purely mechanical filtration.

Biosoluble glass micro fibres for HEPA/ULPA and ASHRAE air filtration is another product that will be shown. The very fine diameter of the micro fibres leads to high-filtration efficiency. The fibres are easily dispersible, providing improved density and tensile strength within filter papers.

Visitors looking for filtration media for food and beverage applications can rely on JM’s PP meltblown, the company reports. The product provides precision calendaring delivering consistent filtration properties. A third party certification is available for high-purity filtration applications.
