P84 Needle-Punched Felt

P84 Needle-Punched Felt Overview

P84 Needle-Punched Felt is a polyimide (PI) fiber filtration media engineered for high-temperature, chemically aggressive, and heavy-dust industrial environments. It offers excellent thermal stability (continuous ~260 °C, peaks ~280–300 °C), strong chemical resistance, high filtration efficiency, low shrinkage, and long service life under abrasive dust loads.

This makes P84 ideal for demanding flue-gas applications where both temperature and chemical exposure exceed the limits of conventional filter materials.

Where P84 Performs Best

  • Cement kilns, clinker coolers, and high-temperature cement processing
  • Coal-fired and biomass power plant boilers
  • Waste-to-Energy (WtE) incineration systems
  • Metallurgical furnaces and smelting operations
  • Chemical and ash-laden industrial flue-gas filtration
  • Any high-temperature system requiring stable emissions and long bag life

Key Selection Criteria

  • Operating temperature profile (continuous & peak)
  • Chemical composition of the gas stream (acids, alkalis, SOₓ/NOₓ, chlorides)
  • Dust abrasiveness and particle size distribution
  • Required filtration efficiency & air-to-cloth ratio
  • Pulse-jet cleaning performance and maintenance cycle
  • Baghouse layout: cage design, tube-sheet fit, and cleaning configuration

INDUSTRIAL
APPLICATIONS

P84 Needle-Punched Felt is engineered for high-temperature, chemically challenging, and abrasive industrial flue-gas environments. Its polyimide fiber construction offers excellent thermal stability (continuous up to 260 °C, instant 280–300 °C), low shrinkage, strong chemical resistance, and long service life under heavy dust loading. This makes P84 an ideal choice for cement production, power boilers, waste-to-energy plants, metallurgical furnaces, and other high-temperature combustion processes.

Cement, Lime & Mineral Processing

Cement, Lime & Mineral Processing

High-temperature clinker lines, cement kilns, and mineral-processing exhaust contain abrasive dust and SO₂/SO₃-rich gases. P84 felt maintains excellent thermal stability and low shrinkage, improving dust-collection efficiency and extending bag life in harsh cement environments.

Waste-to-Energy (WtE) & High-Temperature Combustion

Waste-to-Energy (WtE) & High-Temperature Combustion

WtE and incinerator systems experience rapid temperature spikes, acidic flue gases, and ash-laden particulate. P84’s chemical resistance and heat tolerance (up to 260–300 °C) ensure stable filtration, reduced emission peaks, and strong performance under continuous thermal cycling.

Metallurgical, Power-Plant & Chemical Process Gas

Metallurgical, Power-Plant & Chemical Process Gas

Metallurgical furnaces, coal/biomass boilers, and chemical-process gas streams expose filters to corrosive acids, alkalis, fine particulate, and high-temperature loads. P84 felt provides reliable filtration efficiency, reduced shrinkage, and long service life in these chemically aggressive and dust-intensive conditions.
