Description
Designed for Ultrapure Filtration of Inert Gases
- Gas retention ratings of 3 nm provided by positive mechanical retention
- Patented, highly asymmetric, hydrophobic polysulfone membrane provides high flow rates and low pressure drops
- Non-shedding hydrophobic media rinsed at factory with ultrapure water
- Available in 10.2 cm / 4 in., 25.4 cm / 10 in., 50.8 cm / 20 in., 76.2 cm / 30 in., or 102 cm / 40 in. cartridge lengths (nominal)
- Effective alternative to expensive PTFE filters for Inert gas applications
