  • Acrylic resin-bonded glass microfiber media
  • Reliable particle retention
  • Excellent service life in applications with severe particle loads
  • Polypropylene structure for enhanced chemical resistance
  • Excellent protection for final membrane filters
  • Ideal for batch or small volume processes
• Available Absolute Micron Ratings: 0.45 µm, 1.0 µm, 3.0 µm
• Materials of Construction:
  • Filtration Media: Acrylic Resin-Bonded Glass Microfiber
  • Support Layers: Polypropylene Microfiber
  • Structural Components: Polypropylene
• Typical Applications:
  • Pre-filtration for a wide variety of pharmaceuticals including serums, tissue culture media, and protein solutions
  • Pre- and final filtration of cosmetics
  • Pre-filtration of beverages
  • Final filtration of beverages that do not require membrane filtration
  • Filtration of compatible paints and coatings
• Connection Types:
  • L = ¼”- ½" hose barb
  • M = 3/8" hose barb
  • R = ¼” NPT male
  • W = ½” NPT male
  • Y = 1.5" sanitary flange
