AUTOMOTIVE AIR FILTER MEDIA APPLICATIONS
Hollingsworth & Vose, a
leader in engineered paper
and nonwovens since 1843,
consistently delivers state-
of- the-art solutions to
achieve advanced
performance for demanding
applications. Developed
under the HVisionTM
technology platform,
NANOWEB-coated media is
ideally suited to meet the
growing demands of
automotive air filter media
OE applications.
A new line of 0.3 to 0.5 micron nanofiber-treated automotive air filter media has been
specifically designed to meet the growing needs of OE applications. H&V’s NANOWEB®-coated
media offers a four-fold increase in efficiency and double the capacity per unit area when tested
against NaCl (soot). The material also offers twice the protection of untreated media when
tested with current standard AC fine test dust. Only NANOWEB provides all this protection while
still offering excellent dust-holding capacity for automotive air filtration applications.
NANOWEB-coated media is designed to protect automotive engines longer, with more efficient
media that maximizes energy use.
Increased efficiency. NANOWEB-coated filter media provides improved efficiency while
protecting automotive engine components from harmful dust particles. When tested with AC
fine test dust, NANOWEB media shows a considerable increase in fractional efficiency over
untreated substrates (90% versus 76%). A significant improvement in fractional efficiency
is also seen when tested with 0.3 to 0.4 micron of NaCl particles (78% versus 5%). The
increase in particle efficiency with NANOWEB coating provides greater filtration
performance and engine protection.
Lower restriction. NANOWEB filtration media has been specifically designed with high-
permeability substrates then coated with NANOWEB fibers to provide lower media
restriction with higher filtration efficiency. This media combination enables the high-
efficiency filtration advantages provided by the nanofiber coating without restricting air
flow. The lower element restriction results in reduced in-use filtration energy costs.
Higher dust-holding capacity. NANOWEB auto air media offers improved dust-holding
capacity, increasing overall filter life. The NANOWEB coating provides double the NaCl (soot)
dust-holding capacity and similar media life of typical untreated substrates when tested
with AC fine dust.
