The pleated filter bag, which can be used in a bag-house type dust collector, is elongated and has a longitudinal hollow center with an open end, and a pleated filter wall circumscribing the hollow center. The pleated filter wall has a felt such as PTFE fibers felted onto an apertured and pleatable scrim which can be made of metal, and having a permeability lower than a permeability of the scrim. A membrane of lower-permeability material, such as an E-PTFE membrane, covers the support felt on the outer side of the bag.

1. A pleatable filtration material comprising a felt having spunlaced PTFE fibers on a pleatable metallic scrim having a weight between 100 and 1000 g/m2, the felt having a density between 150 and 1000 g/m2; and a membrane laminated onto the felt, made of E-PTFE and having a permeability to air of b
1. A pleatable filtration material comprising a felt having spunlaced PTFE fibers on a pleatable metallic scrim having a weight between 100 and 1000 g/m2, the felt having a density between 150 and 1000 g/m2; and a membrane laminated onto the felt, made of E-PTFE and having a permeability to air of between 3 and 75 I/dm2/minute at 12 mm of water gauge; wherein the filtration material can be pleated at room temperature and thenceforth operably retain its pleats. 2. The pleatable filtration material of claim 1 further comprising particles of catalyst having a size of less than 10 microns, at least one of present on the surface of the PTFE fibers and embedded into the PTFE fibers. 3. The pleatable filtration material of claim 2 wherein the particles of catalyst are selected from the group consisting of titanium dioxide, iron oxide, zeolith, copper oxide, tungsten oxide, aluminum oxide, cobalt oxide, nickel oxide, chromium oxide, palladium, nickel, gold, platinum, silver and rhodium. 4. The pleatable filtration material of claim 1 wherein the membrane has a permeability to air of between 12 and 50 I/dm2/minute at 12 mm of water gauge. 5. The pleatable filtration material of claim 1 wherein the membrane is laminated directly onto the felt. 6. The pleatable filtration material of claim 1 wherein the membrane is laminated onto the felt via a binder which has resistance characteristics at least comparable to that of the PTFE fibers. 7. The pleatable filtration material of claim 6 wherein the binder is fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer (FEP) or a hexafluoropropylene-tetrafluorethylene copolymer. 8. The pleatable filtration material of claim 1 wherein the metal scrim has chemical and thermal resistance characteristics at least comparable to PTFE fibers. 9. A process of making a pleatable filtration material having a weight between 100 and 1000 g/m2 comprising felting PTFE fibers onto a pleatable metallic scrim until a felt density between 150 and 1000 g/m2 in addition to the density of the scrim is reached; and laminating an E-PTFE membrane having a permeability to air of between 3 and 75 I/dm2/minute at 12 mm of water gauge onto a face of the felted PTFE fibers. 10. The process of claim 9 wherein the step of felting is done by hydro-entanglement. 11. The process of claim 9, wherein the laminating further comprises applying a binder in liquid suspension in a solvent onto the face of the felted PTFE fibers, and subsequently evaporating the solvent, the relative weight of transferred solid binder being between about 1% and 10%. 12. The process of claim 9, wherein the laminating is done directly onto the face of the felted PTFE fibers. 13. The process of claim 9 further comprising pleating the filtration material at room temperature. 14. A pleated filter bag for use in a bag house dust collector, the filter bag being elongated and comprising a longitudinal hollow center with an open end, and a pleated filter wall circumscribing the hollow center, the pleated filter wall having a spunlaced felt on an apertured and pleatable scrim and having a permeability appropriate for filtration, and a membrane having a permeability to air lower than the permeability to air of the felt and covering the felt on the outer side thereof facing the hollow center, wherein all of the scrim, the felt, and the membrane are resistant to a harsh filtration environment of the dust collector. 15. The filter bag of claim 14 wherein the scrim is made of metal. 16. The filter bag of claim 14 wherein the felt has PTFE fibers and the membrane is made of E-PTFE. 17. The pleatable filtration material of claim 16 wherein particles of catalyst are at least one of present on the surface of the PTFE fibers and embedded into the PTFE fibers.
