Abstract

See full text

A fibrous electret filter better sustains electret filtration enhancement upon exposure to aerosol oils when made of fibers containing polypropylene and at least one percent by weight of poly(4-methyl-1-pentene). Even better stability is attained when the poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) content of the electret filter is ten percent by weight of total polyolefin. When used as an air filter, such as in a respirator, the electret filter has surprisingly better filtration performance than does a comparable electret filter made of 100% polypropylene fibers. The electret filter can be made either of melt-blown microfibers or of fibers of fibrillated film.
