Under its Neumag brand, Barmag will showcase its latest solutions for manufacturing nonwoven filter media at FILTECH 2026, taking place from June 30 to July 2 in Cologne, Germany. The company will be located in Hall 8, Booth E68.
The focus of the presentation will be on technologies designed to produce high-performance filtration media in a cost-efficient manner, with particular emphasis on meltblown and spunbond processes.
Meltblown Technology for High-Performance Applications
Neumag’s meltblown technology enables the efficient production of nonwoven materials used in filtration, insulation, and sorption.
The process is compatible with a wide range of polymers, including:
- Polyolefins such as PP and PE
- PET, PLA, PBT, and PA
- Specialty polymers like PPS and TPU
A key innovation is the hycuTEC hydrocharging technology, which has received the EDANA Filtrex Innovation Award. This solution enhances electret filter media performance, enabling:
- Filtration efficiencies exceeding 99.99%
- Significant reduction in pressure drop (to less than one-quarter of typical FFP2 media)
- Elimination of additional drying steps in many applications
These features contribute to improved processing efficiency and overall product performance.
Spunbond Solutions for Advanced Filtration
Spunbond nonwovens are playing an increasingly important role in filtration, functioning both as support layers and standalone filter media.
Neumag’s spunbond technologies allow for:
- Precise customization of nonwoven structures
- Integration of multiple functionalities within a single layer
- Adaptation to specific customer requirements
The company’s expertise in bicomponent spinning further expands design possibilities. Its Bico spunbond process supports:
- Different fiber cross-sections
- Simultaneous production of multiple fiber types from one or more polymers
This includes configurations such as:
- Core-sheath fibers
- Side-by-side filaments
- Split fibers
- Mixed fiber structures
Conclusion
Neumag’s showcase at FILTECH 2026 will emphasize its capabilities in delivering innovative, efficient, and high-performance nonwoven solutions for filtration.
By combining advanced meltblown and spunbond technologies with flexible material processing, the company continues to support the development of next-generation filter media across a wide range of industrial applications.
