Filter Medium For Manufacturing Filters

摘要

The above objective are accomplished by providing a filter medium for use in manufacturing of hydraulic fluid and air filters comprising: an upstream layer comprised of nonwoven fiber having a denier between about 5.0 and 7.0 and a weight of between about 3.0 and 5.0 ounces a scrim and a cap layer comprising a fiber having a denier between about 0.1 and 5.0 denier and a weight between about 2.0 and 4.0 ounces carried by said upstream layer and disposed downstream from said upstream layer. The upstream layer, scrim and cap layer can have a weight of about 4.0 ounces, 2.0 ounces and 3.0 ounces respectively. A downstream layer can be disposed between said upstream layer and said cap layer.
