Fiberweb™ Filtration Introduces Reemay® Liberty® with Microban® Antimicrobial Product Protection

Fiberweb™ Filtration introduces the next generation of Reemay® filtration media utilizing Microban® technology. Reemay® Liberty® with Microban antimicrobial protection is the most advanced filtration media available for inhibiting the growth of bacteria that can cause fouling and odor in pool and spa filter cartridges. Reemay filtration media has been the standard of the industry for decades due to its unmatched performance and reliability. Reemay Liberty builds on this history of excellence by utilizing the same core fabric technologies with the added protection of Microban technology.

Reemay Liberty is constructed of continuous, bicomponent fibers. These fibers are engineered with an inner core for strength and an outer sheath that incorporates the active antimicrobial compound. Microban technology is incorporated directly into the outer sheath of every single fiber during the manufacturing process, which ensures that any bacteria touching the filtration fabric will come in contact with Microban technology. This construction also eliminates any chance of foaming and ensures consistent performance of the Microban technology throughout the life of the cartridge.

Reemay Liberty is constructed of continuous, trilobal spunbond fibers made of 100% polyester; there are no acrylics, binders or glue that can weaken and dissolve during use or cleaning. This process produces a rigid fabric that readily accepts and holds sharp pleats providing excellent column strength. The trilobal shape of the fibers maximizes the filtration surface area and the continuous filament construction results in unsurpassed cleanability and durability. Reemay Liberty is strong enough to perform, cleaning after cleaning.

Microban® antimicrobial product protection is the leading built-in antimicrobial protection for solid products, coatings and fibers. Microban technology gives products an added level of protection against damaging microbes that can cause stains, odors and product deterioration. When microbes come in contact with the product surface, Microban protection penetrates the cell wall of the microorganism and disrupts cell functions, making the microorganism unable to function, grow and reproduce. This technology has undergone extensive independent laboratory testing, has a long history of safe use and it is registered with the EPA for all applications in which it is used. Microban additives can be found in the products of leading consumer, industrial and medical products manufacturers around the world.
