Abstract:

In order to improve the dust holding capacity of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane, and expand the application of ePTFE membrane composite materials in the field of clean room purification, polypropylene (PP) melt blown filter material with different thickness, fiber diameter and electret treatment was used as dust holding layer for the preparation of ePTFE membrane composite. The dust holding performance and microstructure of the composite were analyzed. The results show that the dust holding capacity of the composites increases linearly with the increase of the dust layer thickness. When the dust layer thickness is 0.45 mm, the dust holding capacity of the composite reaches 6.37 g/m2, which is 266% higher than that of the ePTFE membrane. The dust holding capacity of the composite increases as the dust layer fiber diameter decreases. When the fiber diameter of the dust layer is 1.462 μm, the dust holding capacity of the composite increases to 7.96 g/m2, which is 357% higher than that of the ePTFE membrane. After electret treatment, when the fiber diameter of the dust layer is 3.611 μm, the dust holding capacity of the composite increases by 136% compared with that before electret treatment.

Key words: expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, glass fiber filter paper, polypropylene melt blown filter material, dust holding capacity, air filter
