Atvantage^® – Composite Structural Core and Composite Insulating Core Breather/Bleeder Cloths Filtration Industrial Medical Printable Materials Protection

Atvantage^® – Composite Structural Core and Composite Insulating Core Engineered for specific end uses, Atvantage^® provides compressive strength, flame retardancy, acoustic attenuation, and thermal insulation, while achieving a balance between product performance, life, and cost. Atvantage^® is available in a structural core and an insulating core. Composite Structural Core (CSC): Mechanically interlocked in an isotropic array with chemical enhancements, CSC provides acoustic, thermal, and vibration attenuation while maintaining all structural properties… even in complex shapes including strength, stiffness, thickness, and uniformity. By adjusting fiber blends and resins, CSC is engineered to be manufacturing compatible with your fabricating processes.
CSC can be used in many product designs, including those that must meet requirements for FAR 25.853, BAC-5564, and U.L. 94 HB Tests. Applications range from military shelters, to amusement rides. Although CSC is widely found in the aerospace and automotive industries, it is also popular in the medical and marine environments. CSC is engineered to meet the following performance criteria: Enhanced Bonding Strength - Homogeneous surface with multiple fiber bonding points. Acoustical Insulator - Absorbs and filters specific frequency ranges. Machinable - Does not distort when cut without skin. Unique Moldability - Retains thickness and compressive strength in radius. No expansion or compression gaps. Simplistic Sealing Process - Seal edges with stiff resin only - no need to fill voids with putty. Increased Structural Strength - Engineered for specific applications while maintaining structural properties. Unique Z-axis Orientation – Provides increased stiffness, split strength, and comprehensive strength.

Filtration Composite Products Dual Density – multi-section, long life filter HepaFelt^® – advanced sub-micron filtration Filter 12 – innovative vapor neutralizing filter Dual Density – Multi-Section, Long Life Filter A true dual density filter. The first filter section is open, springy, and resilient with high denier and low density. The second filter section contrasts by being thin, stiff, rigid, and dense with fine denier. Together, they make a high-depth loading, long life filter perfect for automotive carbon canisters. It is also excellent for vacuum cleaners, furnace and air conditioner filters, and pleated filters. Two unique constructions provide a “true” dual density media. Filter Section 1: - Open, springy, and resilient - Coarse, high denier - Low density Filter Section 2: - Thin, stiff, and rigid - Fine denier - High density The result when Filter Section 1 and Filter Section 2 are combined – an extremely long life filter. Filter will not distort and will die-cut straight. Exceptionally Effective! Example— Large particles “bounce off” and carbon is prevented from moving through the multiple layers in automotive carbon canisters.
