Coated filter media

A process to apply a coating on a filter media by mixing and reacting a reactive polymer and a compatabilizing agent together and then adding the crosslinking agent to the mixture resulting in a coating solution and then apply the coating solution to the media by a method selected from the group consisting of dipping, spraying, vacuum pull through and combinations thereof, and then drying the applied coating solution on the media at a temperature in the range of ambient temperature to about 150° C. resulting in a coated filter with improved adhesion to the surface of the media and improved ability for filtration.

A process to apply the coating on a filter media by using a non woven filter media selected from the group consisting of synthetic, cellulosic, fiber glass and mixtures thereof with binders, resins, fillers, pigments and other additives;

• and then subsequently mixing and reacting a reactive polymer in solution and optionally a compatabilizing agent resulting in a coating solution;
• and then applying the coating solution to the filter media by a method selected from the group consisting of dipping, spraying, vacuum pull through and combinations thereof;
• and then drying the applied coating solution on the media at temperature in the range of ambient temperature to about 150° C. resulting in a treated filter media.

A process to apply a coating on a filter media comprising 1) depositing at least one reactive polymer on a surface of a filter media which may optionally be mixed with a compatibilizing agent, 2) adding a crosslinking agent on the surface of the filter media which contains the deposited reactive polymer, 3) heating, evaporating and/or curing the components at a temperature in the range of about 25° C. to about 150° C. from about one minute to about 1000 minutes, resulting in a coated filter with improved adhesion to the surface of the media and improved ability for filtration.
