Market Trends and Needs in Cabin Air Filtration

The cabinÌýair filtration market is witnessing significant growth, fueled by a growingÌýdemand for vehicles, stringent regulatory standards, and an increased focus onÌýhealth and comfort. Consumers now expect not just comfort but a safe and cleanÌýenvironment inside their vehicles. As such, cabin air filters must performÌýunder increasingly challenging conditions, combating pollutants such as dust,Ìýpollen, soot, and other harmful particles.

Moreover,Ìýtrends like the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) bring newÌýchallenges, such as ensuring minimal energy consumption without compromisingÌýair quality. This drives the need for advanced filtration materials that canÌýdeliver top-notch performance while supporting energy efficiency.

A Comprehensive Portfolio for Varied FiltrationÌýNeeds

At JohnsÌýManville (JM), we understand the critical importance of air quality and leverageÌýour extensive experience in the filtration market to deliver a broad portfolioÌýof advanced filter media. Our product solutions for cabin air applications are designedÌýto address the diverse needs of today’s market environment and are engineeredÌýto meet a range of requirements, ensuring that our customers can find theÌýperfect solution for their specific applications. This includes stand-aloneÌýfilter media and carrier materials for cabin air filters.

1. Stand-AloneÌýFilter Media:

AÌýstand-alone filter media is a filtration material that can function without theÌýneed for additional layers or components. It is designed to be pleated and fitted into frames directly, making it a turnkey solution for manufacturers who require aÌýready-to-use product that simplifies production while delivering effective airÌýfiltration.ÌýOne of our solutions is Evalith® 978/100, a robust and reliable stand-alone filter media eliminating the need for additionalÌýmaterials or complex processing. This thermally bonded bico spunbond nonwovenÌýfeatures a weave-embossed surface that enhances both its structural integrityÌýand filtration performance. It efficiently captures a wide range of airborneÌýparticles, ensuring clean and safe cabin air.

Ìý

For filterÌýproducers, Evalith® 978/100 offers significant advantages in manufacturing. ItsÌýexcellent pleatability simplifies the production process, allowing forÌýconsistent, uniform filters that maximize surface area and maintain optimalÌýairflow. Moreover, Evalith® 978/100 is engineered for long-term durability,Ìýmaintaining its form and function throughout the filter's lifespan. ItsÌýlow-pressure drop contributes to energy efficiency, making it a sustainableÌýchoice for manufacturers committed to reducing their environmental impact whileÌýdelivering solid cabin air filtration.

2.ÌýCarrier Materials for Enhanced Filtration:

BeyondÌýstand-alone solutions, JM also offers filter media that serve as carrierÌýmaterials, such as Evalith® 478/25 and Evalith® 568/40. Those thermally bondedÌýpolyester spunbond products with a weave- and point-embossed surface areÌýdesigned to work in combination with other filtration technologies, such asÌýactivated carbon or meltblown layers, to create advanced filters that meetÌýspecialized needs.

CarrierÌýmaterials from JM offer high stiffness, excellent pleatability, and superiorÌýcovering properties. These attributes ensure that the final filter productÌýmaintains its form and function over time, even in demanding applications.

Ìý

ActivatedÌýCarbon Integration: ForÌýfilters designed to remove odors and harmful gases, our carrier materials canÌýbe combined with activated carbon. This combination is particularly effectiveÌýfor cabin air filters that need to address volatile organic compounds (VOCs)Ìýand other gaseous pollutants, providing clean and odor-free air.

Ìý

Meltblown / Nanofibers Integration: OurÌýcarrier materials are also used in conjunction with meltblown layers or nanofibers to enhanceÌýparticulate filtration. This is essential for capturing the smallest airborneÌýparticles, including those that can exacerbate allergies and other respiratoryÌýissues. These technologies offers significantÌýbenefits for allergy sufferers, ensuring that cabin air is not only clean butÌýalso safe for sensitive passengers.
