- increased use of high quality, recycled fibres
- own in-house recycling
- optimised use of operating resources in the production process
- reduced energy consumption in needle felt manufacturing
Calculation by ClimatePartner
The Product Carbon Footprint calculation is based on the GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Protocol. It records the CO2 emissions of needlona® BLUE in the individual phases of the product life cycle. This takes raw materials, manufacturing, transport and waste disposal into consideration.
PM-Tec® filter bags with ePTFE membrane
Fine dust doesn't stand a chance!
Particularly in industrial areas, fine dust can pose serious health risks, placing an enormous burden on both people and the environment. Lamination with a highly effective ePTFE membrane significantly increases filter media efficiency. Fine dust, measuring even in the submicron range, is thus already separated at the surface. Can be applied to needlona® needle felt and glass fibre fabric.
Advantages of PM-Tec® at a glance
Even the finest dust particles are separated beginning at the surface
Lowest emission levels, with zero emission a near possibility
No dust penetration into the carrier material
Excellent cleaning properties due to smooth, anti-adhesive surface
Constant differential pressure
Constant gas flow rate
Long service life and high productivity
Application
PM-Tec® filter bags from BWF Envirotec are used in many areas, such as the cement, waste, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, metal and plastics industries or in power stations.

Abrasive dust can do mechanical damage to the filter bag, shortening overall service life.
Fibre impregnations with silicone oil give needlona® needle felt anti-adhesive properties. These properties reduce fibre wear from abrasive dusts many times over.
All needlona® needle felts can be given an anti-adhesive finish. Depending upon the type and characteristics of the dust, we recommend Code9, Si or x-surf single fibre impregnation.
Advantages of Si/Code9/x-surf at a glance
Reduces fibre wear
Facilitates cake release
Application
BWF Envirotec filter bags with finishes for abrasive dusts are used, for example, in the lime, gypsum and cement industries.
CS18® plus and Glaze finishes for agglomerating dusts
filter bags from BWF Envirotec
Agglomerating dusts can be found, among others, in combustion or drying processes.
CS18® plus: A highly effective, concentrated application of PTFE polymers to the needle felt surface gives it excellent cleaning properties. This anti-adhesive surface coating reduces the adhesive forces acting between the filter medium and the dust cake, improving cleaning properties and creating low Δp behaviour in the filter system.
Especially with agglomerating dusts, additional calendering and/or a smoothed surface makes for excellent dust cleaning characteristics. Glaze thus leads to reduced pressure loss.
Your benefits at a glance
CS18® plus:
- Microporous and anti-adhesive
- Causes low Δp behaviour
- Extends the service life of the filter medium
Glaze:
- Improved cleaning properties
- Reduced pressure loss
Application
BWF Envirotec filter bags with finishes for agglomerating dusts are used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, in the cement, lime and gypsum industries, in the food industry, in waste incineration plants and in biomass thermal power stations. Needle felt treated with glaze is also suitable for use in CIP systems.
