Abstract

A filter media formed in accordance with the present invention comprises hydroentangled, predominantly polyester staple length fibers having a basis weight of no more than about 12 oz/yd2. The filter media exhibits a Mullen burst strength of at least about 395 psi, and machine-direction and cross- direction shrinkage of less than about 3%, preferably less than about 2%. Th e filter media exhibits a machine-direction tensile strength of at least about 105 lb/in, and a cross direction tensile strength of at least about 110 lb/i n.

Claims (10)

1. A method of making a filter media comprising the steps of:
providing a precursor web comprising predominant staple length polyester fibers;
providing a foraminous surface, and positioning said precursor web and said foraminous surface; and hydroentangling said precursor web to form said filter media, said filter media having a basis weight of no more than about 12 oz/yd2, and exhibiting a Mullen burst strength of at least about 395 psi, and machine-direction and cross-direction shrinkage of less than about 3 %.
2. A method of making a filter media in accordance with claim 1, wherein said foraminous surface is a three-dimensional image transfer device.
3. A method of making a filter media in accordance with claim 1, including:
heat-setting said filter media after said hydroentangling step.
4. A method of making a filter media in accordance with claim 2, wherein said precursor web comprises fusible fibers whereby said filter media is thermally bonded during said heat-setting step.
5. A filter media comprising hydroentangled, predominant polyester staple length fibers having a basis weight of no more than about 12 oz/yd2, a Mullen burst strength of at least about 395 psi, and machine-direction and cross-direction shrinkage of less than about 3 %.
6. A filter media in accordance with claim 4, wherein said media exhibits machine-direction and cross-direction shrinkage of less than about 2 %.
7. A filter media in accordance with claim 4, wherein said filter media exhibits a machine-direction tensile strength of at least about 105 lb/in and a cross-direction tensile strength of at least about 110 lb/in.
8. A filter media in accordance with claim 1, wherein said filter media is a gas filter.
9. A filter media in accordance with claim1, wherein said filter media is an air filter.
10. A filter media in accordance with claim1, wherein said filter media is a liquid filter.
