Powerful Adhesives

for the Filter Industry

The use of adhesive technology opens up new possibilities for the devel-

opment of lters as well as in terms of design and structure. A targeted and

e󰀩cient adhesive application can optimise the ltering performance. The

reliable adhesives from Jowat for the lter industry facilitate a long lter life

and high quality of the lter elements.

Due to a close and partner-like relationship with our customers, we are

able to constantly optimise our innovative adhesives further to meet the

latest requirements and needs in the market.

Rising pollution of the air and water have sustained a steady growth in

the lter industry over the year. Filters have become an integral part in all

aspects of daily life, in both private as well as industrial spheres, to lter

out those pollutants and preserve the health and quality of life.

Jowat adhesives are used by lter manufacturers for the bonding of lter

frames, the pleating of lters, as well as in the production and laminating

of lter media for home, automotive and industrial applications.

The processing of adhesives has become a rmly established and ever-

growing component in lter manufacturing.

Filter Manufacturing

Adhesives from Jowat stabilise the filter and remain flexible throughout the

entire filter life. And this even when the composite material is exposed to

mechanical stress or high temperatures.

Jowatherm

and Jowat-Toptherm

adhesives facilitate a quick downline

processing due to their short open times and high initial strengths, and,

thereby, support the fast manufacturing processes in filter pleating. Jowat

hot melt adhesives for filter frame bonding are characterised by their techni-

cal details which are adapted to the speed of production processes.

The extensive portfolio of Jowat also supplies tailor-made solutions for the

most different special applications.
