amcFluoroGuard E

The electronics-grade amcFluoroGuard E cartridge filters are specifically designed for high purity filtration of critical process fluids for the microelectronic industry.  Manufactured of just two components: unsupported polytetrafluoroethylene membrane and high grade of polypropylene, its clean construction means low extractables and clean filtrate.  Each 10 inch cartridge houses nearly 10 square feet of chemically inert polytetrafluoroethylene membrane, and is bubble point 100% integrity tested in manufacturing.

amcFluroGuard E cartridge filters offer an economical alternative to all fluorocarbon filters.

 

Performance Advantages

  • Broad chemical compatibility
  • High filtrate purity for maximum yields
  • Extremely low extractable levels
  • Engineered to withstand shocks, back pressure, and rigors of chemical processing operations
  • Thermally imprinted identification for traceability without inks or dyes leaching into press fluids
  • Extensive process controls for reliable and consistent lot to lot service

Typical Applications

  • Fine chemical manufacturing and distribution: acids, bases, etchants, solvents, photoresists
  • Polymer filtration
  • Process gases and compressed air
