Abstract

The filter medium for a filter of the present invention has a laminate structure in which a long-fiber non-woven fabric and a wet non-woven fabric are stacked, wherein the wet non-woven fabric comprises vinylon, polyester, and polyvinyl alcohol, is disposed on a most upstream side of air flow, has a surface located on the most upstream side of air flow, the surface having a surface roughness (SMD) not larger than 2.7 μm, and has a surface stacked on the long-fiber non-woven fabric, the surface having (a) a surface roughness (SMD) not smaller than 3.0 μm or (b) a rough texture (MMD) not lower than 0.02.

Claims (19)

1 . A filter medium for a filter, the filter medium having a laminate structure in which a long-fiber non-woven fabric and a wet non-woven fabric are stacked, wherein

the wet non-woven fabric

comprises vinylon, polyester, and polyvinyl alcohol,

is disposed on a most upstream side of air flow,

has a surface located on the most upstream side of air flow, the surface having a surface roughness (SMD) of not larger than 2.7 μm, and

has a surface stacked on the long-fiber non-woven fabric, the surface having (a) a surface roughness (SMD) of not smaller than 3.0 μm or (b) a rough texture (MMD) of not lower than 0.02.

2 . The filter medium for a filter according to claim 1 , wherein

the wet non-woven fabric contains 10 to 20% by weight of the polyvinyl alcohol.

3 . The filter medium for a filter according to claim 1 , wherein

the wet non-woven fabric comprises a fiber having a fiber length of not larger than 30 mm.

4 . The filter medium for a filter according to claim 1 , wherein

the wet non-woven fabric contains 0.001 to 0.1% by weight of polyacrylic acid ester.

5 . The filter medium for a filter according to claim 1 , wherein

the long-fiber non-woven fabric is a spunbonded non-woven fabric.

6 . The filter medium for a filter according to claim 1 , wherein

an adsorbent is held between the long-fiber non-woven fabric and the wet non-woven fabric.

7 . The filter medium for a filter according to claim 1 , wherein

a peel strength between layers which are the long-fiber non-woven fabric and the wet non-woven fabric, is not lower than 0.5 mN.

8 . A filter in which the filter medium for a filter according to claim 1 is used.
