Flow Rate vs Pressure Drop

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges

provide superior chemical resistance for high-

purity microelectronics applications requiring

contaminant removal to 002micro

The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent

requirements of the semiconductor and

microelectronic industries for effective and

consistent removal of contaminants from

aggressive fluids and organic solvents

In air and gases the single-layer PTFE

membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior

to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best

Flow Rate vs Pressure Drop

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges

provide superior chemical resistance for high-

purity microelectronics applications requiring

contaminant removal to 002micro

The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent

requirements of the semiconductor and

microelectronic industries for effective and

consistent removal of contaminants from

aggressive fluids and organic solvents

In air and gases the single-layer PTFE

membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior

to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best

option to prevent water retention flow

blockage and microbial growth

The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers

approximately 50 more surface area

delivering significantly higher flowrates amp

loading capacities

Cartridges are available with wet-pack option

(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the

need to wet-out in the environment

IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure

integrity In the use environment elements

may be tested for continued integrity using

standard methods

Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove

extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon

installation

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges

provide superior chemical resistance for high-

purity microelectronics applications requiring

contaminant removal to 002micro

The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent

requirements of the semiconductor and

microelectronic industries for effective and

consistent removal of contaminants from

aggressive fluids and organic solvents

In air and gases the single-layer PTFE

membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior

to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best

option to prevent water retention flow

blockage and microbial growth

The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers

approximately 50 more surface area

delivering significantly higher flowrates amp

loading capacities

Cartridges are available with wet-pack option

(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the

need to wet-out in the environment

IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure

integrity In the use environment elements

may be tested for continued integrity using

standard methods

Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove

extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon

installation

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges

provide superior chemical resistance for high-

purity microelectronics applications requiring

contaminant removal to 002micro

The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent

requirements of the semiconductor and

microelectronic industries for effective and

consistent removal of contaminants from

aggressive fluids and organic solvents

In air and gases the single-layer PTFE

membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior

to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best

option to prevent water retention flow

blockage and microbial growth

The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers

approximately 50 more surface area

delivering significantly higher flowrates amp

loading capacities

Cartridges are available with wet-pack option

(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the

need to wet-out in the environment

IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure

integrity In the use environment elements

may be tested for continued integrity using

standard methods

Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove

extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon

installation

blockage and microbial growth

The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers

approximately 50 more surface area

delivering significantly higher flowrates amp

loading capacities

Cartridges are available with wet-pack option

(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the

need to wet-out in the environment

IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure

integrity In the use environment elements

may be tested for continued integrity using

standard methods

Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove

extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon

Flow Rate vs Pressure Drop

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges

provide superior chemical resistance for high-

purity microelectronics applications requiring

contaminant removal to 002micro

The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent

requirements of the semiconductor and

microelectronic industries for effective and

consistent removal of contaminants from

aggressive fluids and organic solvents

In air and gases the single-layer PTFE

membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior

to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best

option to prevent water retention flow

blockage and microbial growth

The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers

approximately 50 more surface area

delivering significantly higher flowrates amp

loading capacities

Cartridges are available with wet-pack option

(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the

need to wet-out in the environment

IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure

integrity In the use environment elements

may be tested for continued integrity using

standard methods

Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove

extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon

installation

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges

provide superior chemical resistance for high-

purity microelectronics applications requiring

contaminant removal to 002micro

The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent

requirements of the semiconductor and

microelectronic industries for effective and

consistent removal of contaminants from

aggressive fluids and organic solvents

In air and gases the single-layer PTFE

membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior

to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best

option to prevent water retention flow

blockage and microbial growth

The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers

approximately 50 more surface area

delivering significantly higher flowrates amp

loading capacities

Cartridges are available with wet-pack option

(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the

need to wet-out in the environment

IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure

integrity In the use environment elements

may be tested for continued integrity using

standard methods

Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove

extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon

installation

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges

provide superior chemical resistance for high-

purity microelectronics applications requiring

contaminant removal to 002micro

The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent

requirements of the semiconductor and

microelectronic industries for effective and

consistent removal of contaminants from

aggressive fluids and organic solvents

In air and gases the single-layer PTFE

membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior

to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best

option to prevent water retention flow

blockage and microbial growth

The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers

approximately 50 more surface area

delivering significantly higher flowrates amp

loading capacities

Cartridges are available with wet-pack option

(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the

need to wet-out in the environment

IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure

integrity In the use environment elements

may be tested for continued integrity using

standard methods

Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove

extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon

installation

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges

provide superior chemical resistance for high-

purity microelectronics applications requiring

contaminant removal to 002micro

The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent

requirements of the semiconductor and

microelectronic industries for effective and

consistent removal of contaminants from

aggressive fluids and organic solvents

In air and gases the single-layer PTFE

membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior

to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best

option to prevent water retention flow

blockage and microbial growth

The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers

approximately 50 more surface area

delivering significantly higher flowrates amp

loading capacities

Cartridges are available with wet-pack option

(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the

need to wet-out in the environment

IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure

integrity In the use environment elements

may be tested for continued integrity using

standard methods

Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove

extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon

installation

High Purity - Wine and Beverage Grade PESHydrophilic Polyethersulfone (PES) Membrane Developed Specically for the Wine and Beverage Industries

Wine and Beverage Grade PES cartridges provide signicant reduction of yeast and bacteria delivering critical spoilage prevention to wine producers A layer of microporous pleated polypropylene depth media combines ne particulate retention with high contaminant-holding capacity The secondary PES membrane layer provides nal retention The combination of high-ow capacity and extraordinary retention make this series ideally suited for wine and beverage production

For wine production typical application of a 065 micron GBPES element as a prelter or nal polishing lter provides removal of all yeast and multi-log reduction of Lactobacillus Plantarum and other common microbes Retention of Serattia Marcescans by LRV 7 is achieved by the 045 micron GBPES element

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges

provide superior chemical resistance for high-

purity microelectronics applications requiring

contaminant removal to 002micro

The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent

requirements of the semiconductor and

microelectronic industries for effective and

consistent removal of contaminants from

aggressive fluids and organic solvents

In air and gases the single-layer PTFE

membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior

to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best

option to prevent water retention flow

blockage and microbial growth

The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers

approximately 50 more surface area

delivering significantly higher flowrates amp

loading capacities

Cartridges are available with wet-pack option

(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the

need to wet-out in the environment

IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure

integrity In the use environment elements

may be tested for continued integrity using

standard methods

Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove

extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon

installation

Flow Rate vs Pressure Drop

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges

provide superior chemical resistance for high-

purity microelectronics applications requiring

contaminant removal to 002micro

The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent

requirements of the semiconductor and

microelectronic industries for effective and

consistent removal of contaminants from

aggressive fluids and organic solvents

In air and gases the single-layer PTFE

membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior

to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best

option to prevent water retention flow

blockage and microbial growth

The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers

approximately 50 more surface area

delivering significantly higher flowrates amp

loading capacities

Cartridges are available with wet-pack option

(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the

need to wet-out in the environment

IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure

integrity In the use environment elements

may be tested for continued integrity using

standard methods

Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove

extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon

installation

membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior

to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best

option to prevent water retention flow

blockage and microbial growth

The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers

approximately 50 more surface area

delivering significantly higher flowrates amp

loading capacities

Cartridges are available with wet-pack option

(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the

need to wet-out in the environment

IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure

integrity In the use environment elements

may be tested for continued integrity using

standard methods

Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove

extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon

installation

High Purity - Wine and Beverage Grade PESHydrophilic Polyethersulfone (PES) Membrane Developed Specically for the Wine and Beverage Industries

Wine and Beverage Grade PES cartridges provide signicant reduction of yeast and bacteria delivering critical spoilage prevention to wine producers A layer of microporous pleated polypropylene depth media combines ne particulate retention with high contaminant-holding capacity The secondary PES membrane layer provides nal retention The combination of high-ow capacity and extraordinary retention make this series ideally suited for wine and beverage production

For wine production typical application of a 065 micron GBPES element as a prelter or nal polishing lter provides removal of all yeast and multi-log reduction of Lactobacillus Plantarum and other common microbes Retention of Serattia Marcescans by LRV 7 is achieved by the 045 micron GBPES element
