Among many different processing techniques (like drawing, template synthesis, phase separation, self-assembly etc.); electrospinning offers a simple, straightforward and inexpensive process which enables producing homogeneous, uniform and continuous nanofibers from submicron diameters down to nanometer sizes. Furthermore; Electro-spinning technique allows the production of nanofibers from various materials e.g. organics and inorganics in different configurations and assemblies.
Why choose Electrospinning Technology?
- Ability to produce structures with highly adjustable microstructure characteristics adaptable to the customized needs in a wide range of applications.
- High surface area to volume ratio (high porosity).
- Wide variety of physical and chemical properties.
- Ability to incorporate soluble or insoluble additives.
- Diverse applications.
What is electrospinning?
- Electrospinning is a fiber production method which uses electric force to draw charged threads of polymer solutions or polymer melts up to fiber diameters in the order of some hundred nanometers. Electrospinning shares characteristics of both electrospraying and conventional solution dry spinning of fibers.
- Briefly; electrospinning uses an electrical charge to draw very fine (typically on the micro or nano scale or nanofiber) fibres from a liquid or polymer solution.
- Nowadays basic Electrospinning can be described as; The electrostatic force is applied to produce electrically charged jets out of viscoelastic polymer solutions, solvent is evaporated in time and nano-micro structures are obtained at the end of the process.

INOFILTER 95/99 FILTRATION MEDIA
The filtration media is produced using a patented novel technology “Hybrid Electrospinning”. The structure of nanofiber media makes them a unique material for fine dust particles, aerosols, bacterias or viruses. Nanofiber based filters provide better filtration performance than conventional meltblown materials with a quite smaller weight per basis area. Read more about it here : Inofilter brochure
