Benefits:
Wide durability range against chemicals with a pH
range 1 to 14, permits use in broad range of fluids and
applications
Precise particle retention at rated level, meets
bacterial validation per HIMA standards
Higher flow rate, greater through-put, extended service
life
Allows faster processing times, smaller filtration
systems, reduced operating costs
Inherently water solent in aqueous solutions without use
of additives, surface active agents or post-treatments
Assurance of product integrity and effectiveness in
operation
High chemical stability, extremely low extractables,
rapidly rinses in 18 MW · cm water
Reliable integrity under severe process conditions,
withstands prolonged exposure to high temperature
water without breakdown, shedding or loss of integrity
Compatible with chemical sanitization methods
Compatible with autoclave and in-line steam steriliza-
tion, withstands multiple sterilizations
Meets FDA requirements for food contact, passed USP
Class VI biological tests for plastics
Low protein binding, minimizes valuable product
adsorption, increase yield
