amcQualipor

amcQualipor hydrophobic membrane is a versatile 100% high temperature resistant polyvinylidene difluoride membrane.  It is designed to provide strength, flexibility and chemical compatibility to meet the exact and demanding requirements of chemical filtration applications.

amcQualipor membrane is available in 0.1, 0.2 and 0.45 μm pore sizes. Produced with no wetting agents, it is an ideal cost effective alternative to polytetrafluoroethylene mem-brane to prevent moisture blockage in venting and gasfiltration.

 

Performance Advantages

  • High resistance to moisture for venting provides no moisture blockage
  • Better air flow rate than supported analogs permits faster pressure balance
  • Broad chemical compatibility for filtering harsh chemicals that detract other membrane
  • Materials can be used in wide range of chemical filtration

Features/Benefits

  • High porosity and throughputs to minimize filter change during batch processing
  • Versatile sterilizability to allow steam or autoclave sterilization
  • Biosafety to assure product application in pharmaceuticals
