Nonwoven filter media consists of randomly arranged synthetic fibers which are used for filtration or separation. Nonwoven filter media have a porous nature and their filaments are bonded together through various treatments such as mechanical, thermal and chemical. Nonwoven filter media are commonly known as felts, especially in the textile manufacturing industry. Few of the important properties exhibited by nonwoven filter media include high strength, thermal insulation, pore size distribution, absorbance, liquid resistance and anti-microbial. Owing to these features, nonwoven filter media are extensively used in end-user industries such as oil & gas, coffee & tea, pharmaceutical, automotive and waste management. Various synthetic materials used for making nonwoven filter media include rayon, polyethylene terephthalate and polypropylene. Based on the kind of treatment and application of binder during manufacturing, the nonwoven filter media are generally classified as needlefelt, spunbond and meltblown among others.
