LENZING™ Lyocell Enhanced Fibrillation: A Sustainable Competitive Advantage for High-Efficiency Filter Media.
Commercial applications for LENZINGTM Lyocell fiber-based filter media range from lightweight papers for teabags and coffee filters, through pleatable media for industrial and automotive filters, to heavyweight depth filter sheets for food and beverage filtration. LENZINGTM Lyocell Shortcut fibres can be fibrillated in a separate step prior to the papermaking process.
Fibrillated LENZINGTM Lyocell Shortcut fibers may be directly incorporated into filter media formulations to increase wet web strength and sheet tear resistance, or for enhancement of fine particle filtration efficiency. Recent process enhancements by the Lenzing Group have resulted in LENZING™ Lyocell Enhanced Fibrillation (EF), Lyocell fibers which required less time and energy to reach a given degree of fibrillation, saving precious cost and valuable resources.
