Fluorodyne VA filters and Fluorodyne TF filters are specifically designed to provide rapid bath clean up in recirculating nickel plating baths. They are also ideally suited for use in recirculated cleaning baths of DI water and alkaline soaps.
Rated at 0.2 µm and 0.1 µm, Fluorodyne VA and TF filters offer spontaneous wettability, fast bath turnover rates and excellent bath clean up characteristics.

Pressure Drop vs. Liquid Flow Rate1
1 For liquids with a viscosity differing from that of water, multiply the pressure drop by the viscosity in the centerpoise.
