Product Overview
The Nylon 6,6 membrane, in an all-polypropylene construction*, provides excellent wet-out characteristics and superior flow performance per surface area as compared to other membrane cartridges. No additives, resins, surfactants or binders are used in the manufacturing process, which dramatically reduces rinse up time, extractables and downtime.
These cartridges are perfectly suited for critical applications where superior flow, and particle removal efficiency between 0.1 and 1.2 micron is required.
The Pur-MAXX N now offers a Special Pleat option, which provides expected surface area improvements of as much as 25%. This optimized pleat geometry option was developed for the filtration of process fluids that require a high degree of particle retention and/or constant bacterial barrier for effective sterilization.
*Filter medium is cast on a polyester support.
