The membranes from W L Gore have improved retention and flow performance, and all non-PTFE components use HDPE to allow for low organic and metal ion extractables. The HDPE family of cartridge filters will be available in three retention ratings – 0.1 µm, 30 nm and 20 nm.
The new HDPE range of cartridge filters can be used as drop-in replacements for existing filters and could provide from 150% up to 400% improvement in flow capability over existing filter technology currently available at the same retention rating. This can provide a drop-in retention upgrade while maintaining system flow capacity. At the same retention, this performance can be used to increase process capacity, or decrease the number of filters needed.
The filters are suitable for high-turnover recirculation filter systems or as the final filter in high-throughput chemical filling and packaging systems.
