How to Solve Industrial Filtration Challenges with Evalith® Micro Fiberglass Filter Tube Media

There’s abroad array of applications in industrial filtration, ranging from oil and gasto sewage treatment, water pretreatment, air filtration, cogenerationfacilities, and more. But what they all have in common is that they requirehigh-quality filter media that can withstand tough conditions while ensuring efficiency,durability, and reliability. And this is where micro fiberglass filter tubemedia comes into play.

Here at鶹ֱapp (JM), we produce it from biosoluble microfibers bonded with a thermosetresin. With its seamless design and customizable specifications, Evalith® microfiberglass filter tube media provides industries with efficient, long-lastingfiltration performance and exceptional contaminant removal.

Filter tube media plays a crucial role in various industrial applications, including air and liquid filtration.

Theseamless design of the filter media eliminates potential leakage paths and ensureszero shrinkage, exceptional corrosion resistance and predictable, repeatableperformance. Its high permeability and dirt-holding capacity make it a powerfulchoice for industrial applications that demand robust contaminant removal. Additionally,with a moisture sorption rate below 5% by weight, the tubes resist humidity anddo not accelerate corrosion, extending their usable life.

Designedfor Performance and Adaptability

Filtrationneeds vary significantly across industries, requiring solutions that can betailored to specific applications. JM offers customizable options, including:

✅ Wall thickness

✅ Inner and outer tube diameters

✅ Loss on ignition (LOI)

✅ Density

  Length Inner Diameter Thickness Density
Min 36" 1-1/2" 1/2" 4.9 lbs./ft3
Max 36" 6-1/8" 1" 7.0 lbs./ft3

Accordingto Jim Dolgoff, Key Account Manager, customization is a key advantage forcustomers:

“Werecognize that no two industrial processes are the same. That’s why we workclosely with our clients to provide filter tube media with precisespecifications that match their operational needs. Whether they require reducedthickness or optimized density for better pressure drop, our solutions help themachieve maximum efficiency.”

TheEvalith® filter tube media is designed for high-temperature applications,capable of withstanding up to 850°F (455°C), making it ideal for use in extremeenvironments.

What is Micro Fiberglass Filter Tube Media?

Micro fiberglass filter tube media is aspecialized filtration material composed of fine glass fibers bonded with a thermoset binder. Known for its durability and high filtration efficiency, thismedia is widely used in industrial processes where contaminant removal andoperational reliability are critical. Its fiberglass structure enhances dirt-holding capacity, flow rates, and pressure drop while maintainingresistance to extreme temperatures, moisture, and microbial growth. Thesefeatures make micro fiberglass filter tube media ideal for a wide range ofdemanding applications.

SupportingCustomers in Their Sustainability Goals

Asindustries shift towards more sustainable practices, filtration solutions mustalign with environmental responsibility. Evalith® micro fiberglass filter tubemedia integrates an average of 25% post-consumer recycled glass content,contributing to waste reduction and circular economy efforts. Additionally, thebiosoluble nature of the microfibers adds further eco-friendly credibility, makingthe filter tube media an excellent option for organizations emphasizingsustainability.
