| Industry |
 |
| The
demands of industry can be many and varied. NFC Specialist Products
serve as the R&D wing of Nationwide Filter Company Ltd in
developing solutions to indoor air quality problems, and in
particular to dual-purpose medias capable of removing both particulates
and odours or gaseous contaminants. |
| Manufacturers
of weld-fume extraction units have called upon the expertise
of NFC Specialist Products and its sister company Active Carbon
Filters to develop solutions for those working in this field. |
| Domestic
Appliances |
 |
| Leading
UK and European vacuum cleaner manufacturers draw upon the expertise
and innovative medias and filter shapes developed by NFC Specialist
Products to reduce the new risks identified by ongoing research
in this field. |
| As
concerns mount over kitchen hygiene, and the potential for cookerhood
filters to harbour bacteria and odours, so NFC Specialist Products
has been called upon to exercise its skills in developing combination
medias capable of eradicating both while still capturing the
particulates arising from cooking. |
| Safety |
 |
| Only
at NFC Specialist Products will one find the expertise under
one roof that is capable of developing filters at all three
grades – P1, P2 and P3 – as well as combination
filters to remove particulates and odours/gasesous contaminants
- ABEK/P3 and ABEK. |
|
More recently NFC Specs has developed its own capacity to produce
DIN 40 filters in all types. If required, NFC Specialist Products
will undertake the manufacturing of the housing, or simply fit
the filter to the housings supplied.The ability to add activated
carbon, either as loose-fill fibre, or as a carbon block, ensures
that a complete service is provided. |

In
partnership with another Fenchurch company – Air
Safety Ltd – the technical expertise to develop specialist
filters to the most exacting requirements is available, along
with the capability to test and manufacture to the required
standard.

Housing |
|
| New
techniques in housings for filters now make it possible to reduce
the cost of including a filter within a product without compromising
filtration performance. Conversely, if aesthetics are as important
as performance – particularly so for domestic appliances
– NFC Specialist Products can rise to this challenge too. |
| The
development of filter encapsulation technology provides the
opportunity for yet more cost-effective products without compromising
performance |
| Specialist
Shapes |
 |
NFC
Specialist Products has the engineering expertise to achieve
virtually any shape of filter or housing. Ranging from the conventional
cylindrical, radial and rectangular filters, the capacity to
manufacture arcs, curves and even a trepanned-style are well
within its scope.

Types |
|
| With
seven pleat machines already at its disposal, the expertise
to manufacture pleat-packs down to 5mm depth, carbon discs and
blocks (including the new triangulated carbon), versatility
is assured. |
| But
NFC Specialist Products does not confine itself to conventional
medias and has been active in developing its own solutions
to create combination filters capable of removing both particulates
and gaseous contaminants at the same time. However, it is
in the field of bacterial and allergen control that NFC Specialist
Products has excelled with the development of Bactiguard and
Allergiguard filter medias.

| Innovation |
| Innovative
Design |
|
| Experimental
designs illustrate the ability of NFC Specialist Products at
innovation. If cost is the prime criteria, NFC Specialist Products
has the knowledge on the materials available to create housings
from the adhesives and seals that hold the filter in position.
|
| Filter
encapsulation and liquid seal technology are just two examples
of its innovative capability. The skill to arc and curve pleat
packs to ensure even spaces between the pleats and consistent
filtration performance is tried and tested. And the willingness
to confront a new challenge is the hallmark of the engineers
at NFC Specialist Products.
