Fibrillated AdsorbentCellulose Technologykxtech.comIt’s a Fact, KX®’s FACTTM Media Has the Advantage Over Competitive MediasFEATURES • Smaller ?bers produce a larger relative pore area for a given pore size • Most of the ?brils remain connected to the core ?ber reducing material loss• The ?brils reach out from the core ?ber and entangle particles and other ?bers• FACTTM Media allows immobilization of a wide range of particle types and sizesBENEFITS• FACTTM Media can also be chemically treated for microbiological ?ltration• The small pore size coupled with the micro- biological chemistry and large pore area allows for low pressure drop and high activity• Microbiological ?lters are constructed to ?ow under gravity or pressure conditions• High sediment capacity• Longer ?lter lifeFACTTM FactsKX Technologies’ FACTTM Media is made using various adsorbents immobilized by ?brillatednano?bers. The Media is produced in a wet laid process yielding an extremely uniform media, where high percentages of very small adsorbents can be immobilized down to 1 micron average particle size e?ciently. WHY DO WE WANT SMALLER FIBERS?Smaller ?bers produce a larger relative pore area for a given pore size. The resulting structure gives a lower overall pressure drop and a higher dirt capacity. Unlike typical cellulose ?bers which have ?ber diameters between 15 and 30 microns, the KX® FACTTM ?bers can be as small as 50 nanometers in diameter. www.kxtech.com4/14/10 WEBSITEThese products are covered by one or more of the following United States Patent Nos. 6,872,311; 7,276,166; applicable US patent applications; foreign patents and applicable foreign patent applications.©2010 KX Technologies LLC.
