Our products are based on bonded fiber, technical foam and other specialty materials that employ liquid capillary transfer science. Our Fibertec bonded fiber and Lendell foam components feature a wide range of product applications, including medical diagnostic devices and wound care. The Active Patch™ filter consists of crimped cellulose acetate fibers which are bonded together with a controlled amount of plasticizer to give a firm structure. This is enclosed in an outer plugwrap which can be standard or porous depending on the ventilation requirements. This plugwrap is applied with a patch of granular activated carbon. The carbon patch can be in a single patch formation or laid out in a split patch configuration surrounding the ventilation zone of the finished product where increased loadings are required. A wide range of patch sizes and configurations, filter lengths & circumferences can be selected to suit the taste & filtrations requirements of the customer.
