SWM Expands Its Water Filtration Offerings by Launching REVONEX Membrane Backing Paper
July 23 2019 - 8:00AM
SWM International (NYSE: SWM) has launched REVONEXTM Membrane
Backing Paper to the global water filtration market. This new
product line offers reverse osmosis (RO) membrane element
manufacturers improved performance when casting membranes.
“The RO market continues to grow, riding the megatrend of global
drinking water shortages. RO elements continue to displace other
technologies and increase share in consumer-related water
filtration devices. With this growth, improved performance of
membrane casting operations has become more important to spiral
wound membrane element producers,” said Tim Cullen, SWM Vice
President and General Manager of Netting and Nonwovens. “Leading
membrane manufacturers have tested our REVONEXTM Membrane Backing
Paper and determined it improves runnability and improves their
ability to cast more consistent membranes.”
REVONEXTM Membrane Backing Paper is a unique product developed
from the application of SWM’s deep expertise in specialty paper
manufacturing to particular unmet needs of the RO market, where the
company has been a leading supplier of resin-based materials
solutions for many years. Based on wet-laid polyester fibers,
REVONEXTM Membrane Backing Paper is produced in calendared and
uncalendared grades at SWM’s Quimperlé, France paper mill. SWM also
supplies NaltexTM feed spacers, CoretecTM permeate tubes, and
CoretecTM machined parts to the global water filtration market.
