Charging may be carried out in various ways. Further disclosed are electret filter media with a melt processable fluorochemical additive having a melting point of at least 25°C and a molecular weight of about 500 to
- Charging involves subjecting the material to corona discharge or pulsed high voltage.

- One class of suitable additive materials is organic materials that contain at least one perfluorinated moiety and have a fluorine content of at least 18% by weight. These materials must be thermally stable at the extrusion temperature of the polymeric resin in order to withstand processing without undesirable degradation or volatilization. Usually molecular weights of 500 or greater are sufficient to avoid excessive volatilization.

- R f is a perfluorinated moiety preferably having about 3 to 20 carbon atoms, more preferably about 6 to 12 carbon atoms and which may contain one or more catenary ether oxygen atoms
- Q is a linking group selected from alkylene groups having 1 or 2 carbon atoms, sulfonamido groups or combinations thereof, and R is an alkyl group preferably having 1 to 4 carbon atoms
- R 1 is a
- perfluoroalkyl group preferably having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R 4 is , or ,
- Another class of suitable additive materials is organic triazine compounds or oligomers with at least one additional nitrogen-containing group. Again, they must be thermally stable at the extrusion temperature of the polymeric resin such that undesirable degradation or volatilization do not occur. Those compounds or oligomers having a molecular weight of usually at least 500 generally are not lost by volatilization. Such compounds or oligomers include
- R 2 is an alkyl group which may be straight chain or branched and preferably having 4 to 10 carbon atoms and n is a number of from 2 to 40, preferably 2 to 20, more preferably 4 to 10.
- the fluorochemical additive or the triazine-based additive is preferably present in amounts of about 0.1 to 10 weight percent, more preferably about 0.2 to 5 weight percent, most preferably about 0.5 to 2 weight percent.
- the blend of the thermoplastic resin and the additive can be prepared by well-known methods.
- the resin and the additive can be preblended and pelletized, then the pellets can be melt extruded.
- the additive can be blended with the resin in the extruder and then melt extruded.
- Useful extrusion conditions are generally those which are suitable for extruding the resin without the additive.
- the blended mixture may be processed into a fibrous filter web by any known technique.
- Melt blown microfibers useful in the present invention can be prepared as described in Van A. Wente, "Superfine Thermoplastic Fibers," Industrial Engineering Chemistry, vol. 48, pp. 1342-1346 and in Report No. 4364 of the Naval Research Laboratories, published May 25, 1954, entitled “Manufacture of Super Fine Organic Fibers” by Van A. Wente et al.
- the resin used to form the fibers useful in the present invention preferably is a thermoplastic nonconductive, i.e., having a resistivity greater than 10 14 ohm ⁇ cm, resin capable of having a high quantity of trapped charge. That the resin is capable of having a high quantity of trapped charge can be determined by measuring the filtration performance of the web prior to the impingement of jets of water or a stream of water droplets, treating the web by such impingement and drying and again determining filtration performance. An increase in performance is indicative of trapped charge.
- Preferred resins include polypropylene, poly(4-methyl-1-pentene), blends thereof or copolymers formed from at least one of propylene and 4-methyl-1-pentene.
- the resin should be substantially free from materials such as antistatic agents which could increase the electrical conductivity or otherwise interfere with the ability of the fibers to accept and hold electrostatic charges.
- the fibers can be of a single resin, formed of a resin blend, e.g., polypropylene and poly(4-methyl-1-pentene), or formed of two resins in layered or core/sheath configurations.
- a resin blend e.g., polypropylene and poly(4-methyl-1-pentene)
- Blown microfibers for fibrous electret filters of the invention typically have an effective fiber diameter of from about 3 to 30 micrometers preferably from about 7 to 15 micrometers, as calculated according to the method set forth in Davies, C.N., "The Separation of Airborne Dust and Particles," Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London, Proceedings 1B, 1952.
- Staple fibers may also be present in the web.
- the presence of staple fibers generally provides a more lofty, less dense web than a web of only blown microfibers.
- no more than about 90 weight percent staple fibers are present, more preferably no more than about 70 weight percent.
- Such webs containing staple fiber are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,118,531 (Hauser) which is incorporated herein by reference.
- Sorbent particulate material such as activated carbon or alumina may also be included in the web. Such particles may be present in amounts up to about 80 volume percent of the contents of the web. Such particle-loaded webs are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,971,373 (Braun), U.S. Pat. No.
- the electret filter media prepared according to the method of the present invention preferably has a basis weight in the range of about 10 to 500 g/m 2 , more preferably about 10 to 100 g/m 2 .
- the basis weight can be controlled, for example, by changing either the collector speed or the die throughput.
- the thickness of the filter media is preferably about 0.25 to 20 mm, more preferably about 0.5 to 2 mm.
- the electret filter media and the resin from which it is produced should not be subjected to any unnecessary treatment which might increase its electrical conductivity, e.g., exposure to gamma rays, ultraviolet irradiation, pyrolysis, oxidation, etc.
- Nonwoven microfiber webs useful in the present invention may be prepared using an apparatus as shown in FIG. 1.
- Such an apparatus includes a die
- staple fibers When staple fibers are present in the web, they may be introduced through use of a lickerin roll 32 disposed above the microfiber blowing apparatus as shown in FIG. 1.
- a web 27 of staple fibers typically a loose, nonwoven web such as prepared on a garnet or RANDO-WEBBER apparatus, is propelled along table 28 under drive roll 29 where the leading edge engages against the lickerin roll 32.
- the lickerin roll 32 picks off fibers from the leading edge of web 27 separating the fibers from one another.
- the picked fibers are conveyed in an air stream through an inclined trough or duct 30 and into the stream of blown microfibers where they become mixed with the blown microfibers.
- particulate matter When particulate matter is to be introduced into the web it may be added using a loading mechanism similar to duct 30.
- Hydrocharging of the web is carried out by impinging jets of water or a stream of water droplets onto the web at a pressure sufficient to provide the web with filtration enhancing electret charge.
- the pressure necessary to achieve optimum results will vary depending on the type of sprayer used, the type of polymer from which the web is formed, the type and concentration of additives to the polymer, the thickness and density of the web and whether pretreatment such as corona surface treatment was carried out prior to hydrocharging. Generally, pressures in the range of about 10 to 500 psi (69 to 3450 kPa) are suitable.
- the water used to provide the water droplets is relatively pure. Distilled or deionized water is preferable to tap water.
- jets of water or stream of water droplets can be provided by any suitable spray means.
- Apparatus useful for hydraulically entangling fibers are generally useful in the method of the present invention, although operation is carried out at lower pressures in hydrocharging than generally used in
- FIG. 2 An example of a suitable spray means is shown in FIG. 2 where fibrous web 10 is transported on support means 11.
- the transport means may be in the form of a belt, preferably porous, such as a mesh screen or fabric.
- Orifices 12 in water jet head 13 provide the water spray, with a pump (not shown) providing the water pressure.
- Water jets 12 impinge on web 10 at impingement points 12'.
- a vacuum is provided beneath a porous support to aid in passage of the spray through the web and to reduce drying energy requirements.
- spray means suitable for use in the method of the present invention include nebulizers such as that shown in FIG. 3 wherein water provided through water line 14 and pressurized air provided through air line 15 are supplied to a nozzle 16 to provide a spray mist to impact web 10 and pump action sprayers such as that shown in FIG. 4 where a pump handle 17 forces water provided by water supply means 18 through nozzle 19 to provide a spray mist in addition to other known spray means.
- annealing i.e., heating for a sufficient time at a sufficient temperature to cause the fluorinated additive to bloom to the surface of the fibers.
- about 1 to 10 minutes at about 140°C is sufficient for polypropylene filter media although shorter times may be used at higher temperatures and longer times may be required at lower temperatures.
- Dioctyl phthalate (DOP) 0.3 micrometer diameter particles at a concentration of between 70 and 110 mg/m 3 are generated using a TSI No. 212 sprayer with four orifices and 30 psi (207 kPa) clean air.
