DuPont introduces hybrid membrane technology

DuPont recently announced that it has introduced the newly invented Hybrid Membrane Technology (HMT). It is a new product for air and liquid filtration that will compensate for the performance gap between traditional nonwovens and microporous films. DuPont hybrid membranes consist of continuous submicron fibers that achieve the best balance between flow/barrier properties. It has been commercially available in the form of a "film" sheet structure, and the hybrid film technology will become the leading technology in DuPont's nonwoven technology product portfolio, which will be provided through DuPont Separation Solutions (DSS). DuPont Separation Solutions is a new business development plan dedicated to the development and implementation of filtering technologies.

According to Matt Trerotola, vice president and general manager of DuPont Nonwovens, “From the strict management department requirements to the rising energy costs, it will require organizations like the automotive, food, beverage and life sciences to find new separations and filters. Technology so that security and efficiency can be improved. The introduction of the DuPont Separation Solutions program and the launch of HMT have demonstrated our focus on providing these and other industries with the necessary technology to meet their diverse needs now and in the future."

Trerotola said: "Dupont separation solutions will surpass today's nonwovens and membrane filtration media to improve the performance of various air and liquid filtration products. Using existing technologies and developing new technologies such as HMT, DuPont will have Helping customers create cleaner, healthier environments that can increase the efficiency of the manufacturing process. By providing complete filters in targeted applications to best meet market needs and customer needs, DuPont will go beyond traditional media suppliers. ."
