Why are the nanofibers put into a web structure?
Donaldson uses a proprietary electrospinning process to form a thin web for use in filtration. The small fibers, when properly arranged into a web, create pores that capture contaminants while allowing flow of a gas or liquid through the web. In some cases the web we create is only 1-2 nanofibers thick, making this the thinnest nanoweb known! Donaldson can control the web characteristics to make the fiber diameters and pore sizes suitable for a wide range of applications.
