Dura-Life Scrim Supported Oleophobic Now Available for Dalamatic® Collectors
As Dura-Life increases in popularity, we are continuing to expand the number of applications that Dura-Life can be used in by adding new Dura-Life variations. We are happy to announce that Dura-Life is now available in scrim supported oleophobic for Dalamatic collectors and Dalamatic replacement bags. Pricing can be found for this new option in your new price sheets.

The polyester fibers in Dura-Life oleophobic bags are impregnated with a fluorocarbon based resin, which assists in releasing wet, oily or sticky dust cakes during cleaning. Dura-Life oleophobic should be used where relative humidity cannot be controlled, or maintained at levels to keep the dust dry and free-flowing, or where dew point issues play a part in changing a particulate's characteristics. Prime dust applications would include sugar, salts, cement, portland cement, lime/calcium, food, spices, animal feeds and grains.

Lab testing has shown that Dura-Life oleophobic will provide the same benefits as standard Dura-Life including:

• Longer bag life due to lower pressure drop
• Reduced emissions
• Energy savings when used with VFD (variable frequency drive)

Dura-Life Nomex* Now Available
In addition to adding Dura-Life oleophobic, we are also happy to announce that Dura-Life Nomex is available for Donaldson® Torit® collectors, aftermarket and will-fit bags.

Dura-Life Nomex bags provide superior filtration for temperatures up to 400°F. Once again, lab testing has shown that Dura-Life Nomex can provide the same benefits as standard Dura-Life.

Please note that Dura-Life Nomex is not available in a scrim supported version for Dalamatic bags at this time. We will notify you when this option comes available.
