Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A filter reinforcing material is disclosed that does not cause peeling or pleat adhesion at the time of pleating, is excellent in pleating, and has high stiffness. A filter reinforcing material includes a bonding layer comprising a thermal bonded nonwoven including thermal bondable short fibers, and a reinforcing layer comprising a nonwoven including high-melting fibers having a higher melting point than a melting point of the thermal bondable short fibers having the lowest melting point in the bonding layer by 30° C. or more. Further, the bonding layer preferably comprises two or more kinds of thermal bondable short fibers with a fineness difference of more than or equal to 5 dtex.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A filter reinforcing material comprising, a bonding layer comprising a thermal bonded nonwoven including thermal bondable short fibers, and a reinforcing layer comprising a nonwoven including high-melting fibers having a higher melting point than a melting point of thermal bondable short fibers having the lowest melting point in the bonding layer by 30° C. or more, wherein Metsuke of the filter reinforcing material is 40 to 120 g/m 2 , and the high-melting fibers comprise at least one selected from the group of (a) thermal bondable short fibers having a fineness of 1.0 to 40 dtex and a higher melting point than a melting point of the thermal bondable short fibers having the lowest melting point in the bonding layer by 30° C. or more and (b) non-bondable fibers having a fineness of 1.0 to 40 dtex and a higher melting point than a melting point of the thermal bondable short fibers having the lowest melting point in the bonding layer by 30° C. or more. 2. The filter reinforcing material according to claim 1 , wherein the bonding layer comprises two or more kinds of thermal bondable short fibers with a fineness difference of more than or equal to 5 dtex. 3. The filter reinforcing material according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing layer comprises the high-melting fibers by more than or equal to 60 weight % out of 100 weight % of fibers contained in the reinforcing layer. 4. The filter reinforcing material according to claim 1 , wherein, melting point of the thermal bondable short fibers in the bonding layer is 80 to 150° C., and content of the thermal bondable short fibers in the bonding layer with a melting point of 80 to 150° C. is 60 to 100 weight % out of 100 weight % of fibers contained in the bonding layer. 5. The filter reinforcing material according to claim 1 , wherein average fineness of fibers contained in the reinforcing layer is larger than average fineness of fibers contained in the bonding layer. 6. The filter reinforcing material according to claim 1 , wherein the bonding layer and the reinforcing layer are integrated by thermal fusion bonding. 7. The filter reinforcing material according to claim 1 , wherein the thermal bondable short fibers in the bonding layer are composite fibers with core-sheath structure, eccentric structure, or side-by-side structure. 8. A filter medium for deodorizing filter comprising, the filter reinforcing material according to claim 1 , an adsorbent layer comprising adsorbents laminated on the side of the bonding layer of the filter reinforcing material, and a base material laminated to sandwich the adsorbent layer with the filter reinforcing material.
