Pleated Polypropylene filter cartridges are graded porosity polypropylene media filters that have been designed for general clarification and pre-filtration applications. The graded porosity design removes particles in sequence by size – larger particles by the more open outerlayers and smaller particles by the tighter inner layers. The outer layers act as a pre-filter while the inner layers provide the smaller particle retention. The media spreads the contaminants throughout the matrix resulting in a high contaminant holding capacity,long lifetime, and low pressure drop.
No adhesives, binders, or surfactants are used in the manufacturing process and the non-woven media does not allow for migration into the process fluid thereby reducing the potential for extractables and downtime. The all polypropylene construction provides thermal and chemical compatibility with low and high pH chemicals.
Pleated Polypropylene filter cartridges are manufactured to ensure consistent filter performance each and every time out of the package.
