Purtrex’ true-graded density filter matrix (lower density at the surface of the filter with progressively higher density toward the centre) captures particles throughout the entire filter depth. This translates to longer life and fewer change-outs than existing string wound or resin-bonded filters. Purtrex contains no wetting agents, solvents, antistatic agents or binders, and meets the requirements of the FDA for food and beverage contact. The filter incinerates to trace ash for easy disposal.
Applications:
- Potable water filtration
- Chemical filtration – wide chemical compatibility
- Plating baths
- Amine filtration
- Meets FDA compliance for food and beverage contact
Materials of Construction
- Filtration Media — Polypropylene
