| Description |
The unique properties of our glass microfiber products allow nonwovens producers to engineer superior products and solutions for high-efficiency filtration media, Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery separator, and numerous other air and liquid filtration/separation applications. Utilizing the fine diameter, high specific surface area (SSA) and chemical properties of our fibers, our customers can optimize pore structure and mechanical properties of their specialty nonwovens. |
