FILTERING MATERIAL FOR FILTER, AND WATER FILTERING APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH FILTERING MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention provides a filtering material for filtering water having high collection efficiency and long filtering life, and a water filtering apparatus including the material. The present filtering material includes a laminated sheet in which a nanofiber layer formed from a nanofiber having a single fiber average diameter of 10 to 1000 nm and meeting all the following conditions and a base material including a nonwoven or woven fabric containing a hydrophilic fiber having a single fiber average diameter of not less than 1 mum. Further, the present water filtering apparatus is configured by including the filtering material for filtering water. (1) The nanofiber layer has a basis weight of 0.1 to 10 g/m2. (2) The nanofiber is a continuous long fiber. (3) The nanofiber contains at least an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer.
