Glass Microfiber - Johns Manville

Description

Micro-Strand glass microfibers combine fine diameter with strength, consistency, and purity. They're the ideal choice for manufacturers of specialty glass paper or glass blends for use in ultra-high-purity air and liquid filtration. Micro-Strands superior physical and chemical properties make it the best glass microfiber available. Johns Manvilles newest technological advance, Micro-Strand CRwas developed to reduce contamination from boron outgassing.

Uses

Micro-Strand is ideal for air and liquid filtration demanding the highest purity standards. An amorphous, exceptionally pure, fibrous silica material which is both low density and noncrystalline, Micro-Strand is furnished in bulk form for conversion to a wide variety of products. ASHRAE, HEPA, and ULPA filters are manufactured from Micro-Strand glass fiber, due to its fine diameter fibers and outstanding fiber density. For battery applications, Micro-Strand offers extraordinary chemical resistance with excellent electrolyte suspension.

Micro-Strand glass paper withstands high operating pressures in both liquid and air filtration applications. Blends of Micro-Strand microfiber are used in automotive applications to improve air, oil, and hydraulic fluid filtration, allowing improved engine performance and life. Micro-Strand CR is appropriate for clean room filters in the electronics industry, especially for chip manufacturing facilities.
