Flotrex GF

Summary

Product Identification

The Flotrex GF (FGF) filter is an absolute-rated, glass microfiber filter designed for high throughput and long service life. These pleated filters do not leach any flavor-altering substances.

Key features include:

• Absolute pore size micron ratings: 0.45 µm, 1.0 µm, and 3.0 µm
• Meets International Bottled Water Association (IBWA)-recommended 1.0-micron absolute rating.
• Materials of construction meet U.S. FDA requirements for food contact under 21 CFR.
• Meets the test criteria for USP Class VI-121°C Plastics.

Typical applications include:

• Final Filtration for Bottled Water
• Prefiltration of Pharmaceuticals and Biologicals
• Cosmetic Oil, Gel and Shampoo Filtration
• Beverage Clarification
• Paints and Coatings
• Ink

Operating Limits

• Maximum Forward Differential Pressure: 60 psi (4.1 bar) at 70ºF (21ºC)
• Maximum Reverse Differential Pressure: 30 psi (2.1 bar) at 70ºF (21ºC)
• Maximum Operating Temperature: 180ºF (82ºC) at 10 psid (0.69 bar) in water

Additional information:

• May be autoclaved or in situ steam sterilized (up to 257°F [125°C] 30-minute cycles) for a maximum accumulated exposure of 10 hours.
• Filters may be sanitized with compatible chemical agents.

Product Water

• Aqueous extracts from Flotrex GF filters contain less than 0.25 EU/ml.
• Filters typically exhibit low levels of non-volatile residues.
