process filtration such as that found in food and beverage and medical applications.
Lydall also offers Solupor® Membrane specialty microporous membranes that
are utilized in various markets and applications including air and liquid filtration
and transdermal drug delivery. Solupor® membranes incorporate a unique combination
of mechanical strength, chemical inertness, and high porosity in a unique open
structure.
Industrial Filtration Segment
The Industrial Filtration segment includes non-woven felt media and filter
bags used primarily in industrial air and liquid filtration applications. Non-woven
filter media is the most commonly used filter technology to satisfy increasing
emission control regulations in a wide range of industries, including power,
cement, steel, asphalt, incineration, mining, food, and pharmaceutical. The
business also produces non-woven rolled-good media that is used in other commercial
applications and media for automotive applications is supplied to the Companys
Thermal/Acoustical Fibers segment.
Industrial Filtration segment products include air and liquid filtration media
sold under the brand names Fiberlox® high performance filtration felts,
Checkstatic™ conductive filtration felts, Microfelt® high efficiency
filtration felts, Pleatlox® pleatable filtration felts, Ultratech™
PTFE filtration felts, Powertech® and Powerlox® power generation filtration
felts, Microcap® high efficiency liquid filtration felts, Duotech membrane
composite filtration felts, along with traditional scrim supported filtration
felts. Industrial Filtration also offers extensive finishing and coating capabilities
which provide custom engineered properties tailored to meet the most demanding
filtration applications. The business leverages a wide range of fiber types
and extensive technical capabilities to provide products that meet our customers’
needs across a variety of applications providing both high performance and durability.
Thermal/Acoustical Metals Segment
The Thermal/Acoustical Metals segment offers a full range of innovative engineered
products for the transportation sector to assist primarily in the reduction
of powertrain and road noise as well as thermally shield sensitive components
from high heat. Lydall products are found in the underbody (tunnel, fuel tank,
exhaust, rear muffler and spare tire) and under hood (engine compartment, turbo
charger, and manifolds) of cars, trucks, SUVs, heavy duty trucks and recreational
vehicles.
Thermal/Acoustical Metals segment products are formed on production lines capable
of combining multiple layers of metal and thermal or acoustical media to provide
an engineered thermal and acoustical shielding solution for an array of application
areas in the global automotive and truck markets. The flux® product family
in Thermal/Acoustical Metals includes several patented products that address
applications which include: Direct Exhaust Mount heat shields, which are mounted
to high temperature surfaces like exhaust down-pipes, turbochargers or engine
manifolds using aluminized and stainless steel with high performance heat insulating
materials; Powertrain heat shields that absorb noise; Durable and thermally
robust solutions for sensitive plastic components such as fuel tanks that are
in proximity to high temperature heat sources.
Thermal/Acoustical Fibers Segment
The Thermal/Acoustical Fibers segment offers innovative engineered products
to assist primarily in noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) abatement within
the transportation sector. Lydall products are found in the interior (dash insulators,
cabin flooring), underbody (wheel well, aerodynamic belly pan, fuel tank, exhaust)
and under hood (engine compartment) of cars, trucks, SUVs, heavy duty trucks
and recreational vehicles.
Thermal/Acoustical Fibers segment products offer thermal and acoustical insulating
solutions comprised of organic and inorganic fiber composites for the automotive
and truck markets primarily in North America. Lydall’s dBCore® is
a lightweight acoustical composite that emphasizes absorption principles over
heavy-mass type systems. Lydall’s dBLyte® is a high-performance acoustical
barrier with sound absorption and blocking properties and can be used throughout
a vehicle’s interior to minimize intrusive noise from an engine compartment
and road. Lydall’s ZeroClearance® is an innovative thermal solution
that utilizes an adhesive backing for attachment and is used to protect vehicle
components from excessive heat. Lydall’s specially engineered products
provide a solution that provides weight reduction, superior noise suppression,
and increased durability over conventional designs.
