Seattle, WA, USA--(Jobwerx)--APRIL 11, 2005--Polymer Group, Inc. together with Donaldson Company, Inc. uses Durapex™ filtration medium in new industrial baghouse filters for dust removal in humid conditions and high temperatures.

PGI's award-winning Durapex has expanded to the newest product offerings in Donaldson's Dura-Life™ baghouse line. A year ago the two companies joined together to produce industrial filter bag media that help companies meet new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) air quality standards for particulate matter.

The new products include oleophobic bags for enhanced cleaning of wet and oily dust in cement, food, agriculture and other industries; and an aramid version that provides superior filtration in temperatures up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for uses in furnaces. These additions join the original Dura-Life line.

Company spokesperson for Donaldson commented that the Dura-Life product has been successful at transforming the standards in the baghouse industry. In addition, PGI's innovative technology combined with our industrial filtration expertise is delivering superior solutions that address an ever-widening set of applications and customer needs.

Donaldson Company, Inc. is a leading worldwide provider of filtration systems and replacement parts. Donaldson serves customers in the industrial and engine markets including in-plant air cleaning, compressed air and gas purification, power generation, disk drive filtration, off-road equipment and trucks.

Dura-Life filters provide twice the life compared to ordinary, 16-ounce polyester felt bags, and also are cost-effective with lower pressure drop, resulting in longer bag life and reduced maintenance and energy costs.

Polymer Group, Inc., one of the world's leading producers of nonwovens, is a global, technology-driven developer, producer and marketer of engineered materials.

Durapex is made with PGI's proprietary Apex® technology, a hydroentanglement manufacturing process that provides superior uniformity and tightly controlled pore-size distribution. The result is a nonwoven fabric with high filtration efficiency and greater fabric strength than traditional needlefelt fabric. The Apex technology is becoming a widely used filtration platform with many diverse applications, including pool and spa filtration.

PGI and Donaldson have made a significant contribution to helping customers achieve air quality standards that meet or exceed application regulations.
