POLYESTER FIBER SCRIM AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME

摘要

Self-supporting scrim or web structure, which is readily thermopleated, is provided for use in filter applications. The self-supporting scrim has very high porosity. When pleated and deployed for filter applications, the scrim or web structur e retains the shape of pleats and contributes minimally to airflow resistance. The scrim o r web structure is fabricated from synthetic fibers and latex binders using a wet laid process.
