Product Overview

The Ink-Jet Select filters are manufactured without binders or resins, in our class 10,000 clean room resulting in an extremely clean non-fiber shedding filter. Due to our utilization of the unique graded pore density depth media this element is outstanding for removing gels, compared to traditional pleated polypropylene filters.

Features & Benefits

Absolute-rated media provides reliable, consistent and repeatable filtration results

Lower pressure drops, which yield higher flow rates and reduced processing time

100% polypropylene construction offers a wide range of chemical compatibility

Graded pore density pleat design to optimize service life, fewer change outs and reduced operating costs per cartridge
