amcUltraFlow

The electronics-grade amcUltraFlow cartridge filters are specifically designed for top performance filtration and are manufactured under a clean environment. There are three different filter elements to choose from: modified hydrophilic polyethersulfone, hydrophobic melt blown polypropylene, and hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene to meet today’s most stringent electronics industry filtration requirements, including filtration of DI water, weak acids/bases, organic solvents, oxidizing agents, and strong chemicals.

amcUltraFlow cartridge filters offer high flow rate, high particle retention and longer life time, leading to low pressure drops, fewer filter change outs, cleaner process water and chemicals for electronics filtration process.

 

Performance Advantages

  • Various filter elements with various pore sizes of cartridge filters to choose from
  • The filter elements and structural components of the cartridge are fusion-welded, and thoroughly flushed with solvents during manufacturing, eliminating unnecessary extractables from the cartridge during filtration process
  • 100% integrity tested for amcUltraFlow PES and amcUltraFlow PTFE

Typical Applications

  • Fine chemical manufacture and distribution: acids, bases, etchants, solvents, photoresists
  • Point-of-use chemical filtration: recirculation of wet-etch systems, rinse baths
  • Polymer filtration
  • Process gases and compressed air
  • Ultrapure water filtration
