August 26, 2008: Finetex Technology Global Ltd., a mass manufacturer of electrospun nanofibers, has provided nanofiber coated filter media for Mahle, the Stuttgart-based engine components and systems specialist, to produce the new Symmetrix air filter system. The Mahle Symmetrix filter system was designed to deliver maximum filter performance with minimal installation space.
Incorporating the Finetex Technology’s nanofiber, Mahle has obtained the extremely thin filter media with lower pressure loss and higher dust retention capacity compared to conventional filter media. These benefits are due to the special properties of nanofiber, which include large surface area-to-mass, high pore volume, low density and tight pore size.
“We’re thrilled to have the first nano heavy duty filter media commercially launched in the market through the Mahle Symmetrix filter system,” said JC Park, CEO of Finetex Technology.
