Ahlstrom, a world pioneer in cutting-edge filtration solutions, is pleased to present a novel PFAS-free filtration platform with water-repellent qualities created especially for air-oil separation applications in response to this rising demand. This novel technology gives filter makers a sustainable way to satisfy demanding performance and regulatory requirements without sacrificing dependability and longevity.
High-performance materials that can effectively separate water and fine oil particles from air streams while retaining superior filtering capabilities are needed in the air-oil separation sector. Media treated with water-repellent qualities improves the coalesce action in multilayer filter designs.
By doing this, the medium is kept steady, preventing greater moist pressure dips and maintaining filtering effectiveness. Historically, PFAS-based methods were used to address these issues. Ahlstrom’s PFAS-free filtration materials eliminate the need for fluorochemicals, delivering advanced water-repellent properties that ensure reliable and robust performance, even in demanding operating conditions. Together with our clients, we develop and qualify our multi-layer air-oil separation systems on a specialised test bench.
According to Tamara Quatrano, Vice President, R&D and Product Development, Filtration, “Our new PFAS-free solution highlights our commitment to innovating sustainable solutions, supporting the transition to environmentally responsible alternatives without compromising performance.” “We are actively working with the R&D teams of our customers to improve and develop PFAS-free filtration media.”
