amcPolyproFlow

amcPolyproFlow pleated cartridge is constructed with all polypropylene components with optimized pleat height and density. It provides universal chemical compatibility, lower pressure loss, and long life in demanding process applications, including pharmaceutical and biological.

amcPolyproFlow cartridge is available in 8 pore sizes from 0.2 μm to 60 μm to match the flow, differential pressure, and retention requirements of virtually every microfiltration need. No adhesives are used in the fabrication of the chemically resistant amcPolyproFlow cartridge.

amcPolyproFlow cartridge functions equally well as a prefiltration in water and aggressive chemicals, and as a final filter where nominal rated microfiltration is required.

Performance Advantages

All-polypropylene construction offers superior chemical resistance
Cartridge filter incorporates several layers of melt-blown polypropylene web to provide long filter life and outstanding separation performance
Thermal bonding eliminates risk of extractables from sealing materials
Filters are sanitizable by most common methods and sterilizable by autoclave and steam
Filtration medium passes USP Class V1-121°C Plastics Tests for biosafety
Each filter is traceable with engraved product number and pore size for easy identification
