SUMMARY & HIGHLIGHTS Historically BBA NONWOVENS is by far the largest current supplier of spunbonded nonwovens into filtration worldwide. In Europe, we believe that JOHNS MANVILLE is the largest supplier of 'fine denier' spunbonded polyester. |
|
******************* |
|
There are now a number of equipment manufacturers offering equipment including bi-component fibers to produce 'fine denier' spunbonded materials. |
|
******************** |
|
We believe that the current market 2002/2003 amounts to approximately |
|
******************** |
|
We believe that coolant filtration or filter media in general for this application will decrease in years to come. This is particularly apparent in Europe. |
|
******************** |
|
It can be safely stated that still relatively few companies of the many spunbonded producer have focused on filtration. |
|
******************** |
|
Spunbonded media as membrane backing will most likely decline in favor of some wet laid filtration media. |
|
******************** |
|
'Fine Denier' spunbonded - 1.0 dpf - 6 dpf (denier per filament) carries tremendous potential to get into new and existing filtration applications. |
