Abstract
Abstract A scrimless, dimensionally stable filter felt suitable for high temperature gas filtration is comprised of at least 80% by weight poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) staple fibers having at least a low degree of crystallinity and a staple length of 4 to 16 cm., and has a felt density of 0.15 to 0.4 g./cm. 3 and an air permeability of 3 to 30 m. 3 /min./m. 2 (0° C. basis pressure differential = 1.27 g./cm. 3 .
