Abstract:
A filter medium includes first and second porous films mainly containing fluororesin, and a pre-collection member upstream of the first film. The second film is downstream of the first film. The pre-collection member has a pressure drop when air is passed through at a flow rate of 5.3 cm/s of between 15 Pa and 55 Pa, a collection efficiency of NaCl particles having a particle diameter of 0.3 μm when air containing the particles is passed hrough at a flow rate of 5.3 cm/s of between 25% and 80%, a thickness of 0.4 mm or less, and a PF value between 7 and 15. The PF value={−log((100−collection efficiency (%))/100)}/(pressure drop (Pa)/1000). A ratio of the PF value of the pre-collection member to the PF value when the first and second films are overlapped, is between 0.20 and 0.45. The filter medium can be used in a filter pack or filter unit, and may be produced by integrating the first and second films and the pre-collection member using heat lamination.
Abstract:
An air filter medium includes a resin having a plurality of first convex portions protruding from a first surface of the filter medium in an air flow direction relative to the filter medium and a plurality of second convex portions protruding from a second surface that is a back surface of the first surface of the filter medium in the air flow direction. The total projected area of the plurality of first convex portions and the plurality of second convex portions in a case where an entirety of the filter medium is projected in the air flow direction is 50% or more and 100% or less of a projected area of the entirety of the filter medium in a case where the entirety of the filter medium is projected in the air flow direction.
Abstract:
A filtering medium includes first and second porous membranes mainly composed of fluororesin, and a plurality of air permeable supports to support the first and second membranes. The second membrane is disposed downstream of the first membrane. When air containing polyalphaolefin particles with a count median diameter of 0.25 μm is continuously passed through at a flow rate of 5.3 cm/sec and pressure loss is increased by 250 Pa, the first membrane has a dust retention amount larger than the second membrane. The filtering medium has a pressure loss of less than 200 Pa when air is passed through at a flow rate of 5.3 cm/sec. A collecting efficiency of NaCl particles with a particle diameter of 0.3 μm is 99.97% or more when air containing the NaCl particles is passed through at a flow rate of 5.3 cm/sec. The dust retention amount is 25 g/m2 or more.
Abstract:
An air filter medium includes a fluororesin porous membrane and an air-permeable supporting member stacked on the fluororesin porous membrane. The fluororesin porous membrane has a pressure loss of 80 Pa or less when air is passed at a flow rate of 5.3 cm/s. The fluororesin porous membrane has a PF of 20 or more, the PF being determined from a formula PF={−log((100−collection efficiency (%))/100)}/(pressure loss (Pa)/1000) using the pressure loss and a collection efficiency determined using NaCl particles having a particle size of 0.1 μm. The fluororesin porous membrane has a thickness of 10 μm or more. A dust-holding capacity of polyalphaolefin particles having a number median diameter of 0.25 μm is 15.0 g/m2 or more when air containing the polyalphaolefin particles is continuously passed through the fluororesin porous membrane at a flow rate of 5.3 cm/s and pressure loss increases by 250 Pa.

A mixed powder and a material for molding have polytetrafluoroethylene as a main component. Each includes polytetrafluoroethylene that can be fibrillated, a non-hot melt processable component that is not fibrillated, and a hot melt processable component with a melting point of lower than 320° C. that is not fibrillated. The non-hot melt processable component that is not fibrillated is contained in a range of 20 to 40% by weight of the total weight. The hot melt processable component is contained at equal to or more than 0.1% by weight but less than 20% by weight of the total weight. A drawn porous body includes a plurality of fibrils, and a plurality of knotted portions that are connected to each other by the fibrils.

There are provided an air filter medium, a filter pack, and an air filter unit in which the decrease in collection efficiency can be suppressed. The air filter medium includes a fluororesin. The PAO permeability ratio (final permeability/initial permeability) is less than 3.0. The initial permeability is a permeability of polyalphaolefin particles when air containing the polyalphaolefin particles having a number median diameter of 0.25 μm is passed through the air filter medium at a flow velocity of 5.3 cm/s. The final permeability is a permeability of polyalphaolefin particles when air containing the polyalphaolefin particles having a number median diameter of 0.25 μm is continuously passed through the air filter medium at a flow velocity of 5.3 cm/s and the pressure loss is increased by 250 Pa.
